Abstract

A novel dual-polarized antenna array designed for a spatial division multiple access (SDMA) system working in the 1850-1990-MHz band is designed and built. The antenna is designed to have similar element patterns, and measurements of S-parameters and radiation patterns are presented. The array signal processing performance of the array using all elements and with no compensation for mutual coupling or differences in element patterns is studied through direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation using total least squares estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (TLS-ESPRIT). The results show that the accuracy of the DOA estimates is quite acceptable for wireless communication applications.
