Abstract— The smart antenna array is a group of antennas in
which the relative phases of the respective signals feeding the
antennas are varied in such a way that the effective radiation
pattern of the array is reinforced in a desired direction and
suppressed in undesired directions. Smart antenna are the array
with smart signal processing algorithms used to identify spatial
signal signature such as the direction of arriving of the signal,
and use it to calculate beam forming vector, to track and locate
the antenna beam on the mobile/target. An array antenna may
be used to point a fixed radiation pattern, or to scan rapidly in
azimuth or elevation. This paper explains the architecture;
evolution of smart antenna differs from the basic format of
antenna. The paper further discusses different Beamforming
schemes and algorithms of smart antenna array.

former can cancel a plane wave arriving from a known
direction, producing a null in the response pattern in this
direction. The process works well for canceling strong
interference, and could he repeated for multiple-interference
cancellation. But although it is easy to implement for signal
interference, it becomes cumbersome as the number of
interference grows. Although the beam pattern produce by this
Beamformer has nulls in the directions of interference [5], it is
not designed to minimize the uncorrelated noise at the array
output. This can be achieved by selecting weights that
minimize the mean output power, subject to the above
constraints. The flexibility of array weighting to being
adjusted to specify the array pattern is an important property.
This may be exploited to cancel directional sources operating
at the same frequency as that of the desired source, provided
these are not in the direction of the desired source. In
situations where the directions of these interferences are
known, cancellation is possible by placing the nulls in the Fig 4 The structure of a narrow band beam-former[10] (a)without
