abstract: In the last decade, the need of effective mobile communication devices has favored the development of wireless technologies. Nowadays, the demand of dealing with complex communication scenarios characterized by multiple users and standards fosters the study of systems able to provide a suitable quality of service (QoS) and an enhanced security [1]. In such a framework, smart antennas have been recognized as promising tools for an efficient management of the physical layer. As a matter of fact, these systems are aimed at maximizing the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the receiver by steering the main lobe of the beam pattern to track the desired signals and placing attenuations to cancel the interferences. With respect to standard solutions, smart antennas allow to increase the channel capacity and the service coverage [2].
