Abstract


To improve the capacity of a radio communication system, MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) wireless technology is used, where multiple antennas are installed at both the transmission and reception ends. At the receiving end, by combining the received signals from all antennas, the fading effect can be reduced, which increases signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and minimizes the error rate. Wireless networks in multi-user environments need massive MIMO (MMIMO) systems as multiple antenna networks. The MMIMO installs large antenna arrays in the base stations, using a large number of transceivers with other RF modules to produce a very narrow and targeted radiation beam with reduced interference. This paper describes the method of producing multiple targeted radiation beams using an MMIMO smart antenna system with a microstrip array. The sub-6 GHz band of 5 GHz is used for the design of multiple beam smart antennas. The adaptive signal processing algorithm least mean square (LMS) is used for the beamforming of microstrip smart antennas. The number of antenna elements in the smart antenna is varied from 30 to 45. In case of three beam formation, the achieved maximum side lobe level (SLL) is -13 dB and minimum null depth is -27 dB. In case of four beam formation, the achieved maximum side lobe level (SLL) is -12 dB and minimum null depth is -25 dB. There was no deviation of the generated beam directions from the target user directions.
