The use of adaptive antennas in mobile communications base stations is self-explanatory. It offers the potential of increased spectrum efficiency, extended range of coverage and higher rate of frequency reuse. To further advance the use of adaptive antennas in mobile communications, an EC RACE project (R2108), code named TSUNAMI (Technology in Smart-antennas for UNiversal Advanced Mobile Infrastructure) has been initiated. The authors present an overview of this project-its goals and achievements.
