Abstract
We discuss the use of smart antennas in cellular TDMA systems. We first describe the current and proposed use of smart antennas in the the second generation TDMA system ANSI-136. We then describe how smart antennas with space-time processing can be used in the third generation TDMA system EDGE to provide higher capacity and range. We also describe the use and performance of multiple (M) antennas at the terminal as well as at the base station to provide an M-fold increase in the data rate (384 kbps) of EDGE.
