Abstract

Smart antennas are important for satellite communications because they can increase the channel capacity, spectrum efficiency, and coverage range of the communication systems. This chapter reviews the technology for smart array antenna design with examples. Applications of smart antennas for satellite ground stations and direct broadcast satellite systems are also presented in this chapter. A detailed list of references is given in the end of this chapter.
