Design of a Smart Antenna for Mobile Ad Hoc Network Applications

الملخص EN

Among the mobile ad hoc networks appealing characteristics there are network reconfigurability and flexibility.

In this context a smart antenna capable of self-configuring multiple high-directivity beams provides a major advantage in terms of power saving, increased range, and spatial reuse of channels.

In this paper a smart antenna made of a cylindrical array of patches suitable for MANETs is presented.
