On mobile communications smart base-station system design

A design technique for mobile base-station antennas is presented. Beam tilting to avoid intersymbol interference is considered, and the orthogonal method (OM) under constraints on the radiation pattern is applied. The adaptive architecture of the mobile system, in conjunction with the direction of arrival (DoA) and the least mean square algorithms, is explained. A set of useful examples shows the applicability of the whole design.
