Abstract

In this letter, the structure of the prototype of a smart antenna working in the 2.4‐GHz band is described. The radiating structure is composed by an eight‐element linear array with a finite reflecting plane and its adaptive behavior is obtained by means of a set of electronically driven vector modulators that control the array weights. The antenna system is equipped with a control software based on a particle swarm optimizer algorithm that enables the system to adapt to the complex interference scenario. A selected set of numerical and experimental results are reported and discussed to assess the effectiveness of the proposed architecture. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
