DIRECTION FINDING AND SMART ANTENNAS USING SOFTWARE RADIO ARCHITECTURES

This paper describes how operational tests and demonstrations of systems based on software radios are currently being performed in the 800 MHz mobile cellular radio band. These field trials are for mobile unit geolocation systems and adaptive phased array "smart antenna" applications. The geolocation system trials are in response to the demand for high confidence geolocation of mobile units for enhanced emergency 911 service and for use in the U.S. Department of Transportation's Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) initiative.
