SDMA Last modified: Thursday, November 09, 2006
Short for spatial division multiple access, SDMA is a satellite communications mode for using data from antenna arrays in wireless communications systems. At the base station, SDMA continually adapts to the radio environment, providing each user with uplink and downlink signals of the highest possible quality. At the network level, this improved base station performance can be exploited to increase base station range. [Adapted from 'Intelligent Antennas: Spatial Division Multiple Access']
Intelligent Antennas: Spatial Division Multiple Access (PDF) Antennas collect radio frequency energy from space for reception purposes and distribute energy into space for transmission. To date, they have been the most neglected of all the components in personal communications systems.
