Summary:
The increasing demand for mobile communication services without a corresponding increase in RF spectrum allocation motivates the need for new techniques to improve spectrum utilisation [1]. Smart antennas offer a broad range of ways to improve wireless system performance. In general, smart antennas have the potential to provide enhanced range and reduced infrastructure costs in early deployments, enhanced link performance as the system is built-out and increased long term system capacity [2]. The demand for simulation model of smart antennas is increasing for evaluating the effect of interference between radio systems. In this paper, the simple model of switched beam antennas that can be used in compatibility study is presented. The model is implemented in a sharing and compatibility study of two different radio systems that share the same geographical area and have adjacent frequency bands. We show that the results obtained using developed our tool agree well with the results obtained using the other tool using Monte-Carlo method.
