  • Patent number: 6236363
    Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for verifying the integrity of a smart antenna system. The simulator section replicates multiple sensors with directional and non-directional components with variables from Doppler, delay and angular spread. Hardware/software combinations simulate the line-of-sight signal, reflected signals, and refracted signals that require manipulation by the smart antenna processor to extract the temporal and spatial information of the signals of interest. The channel simulator of the present invention introduces independent variability of the most significant factors involved in the simulation; delay spread, Doppler spread, and angular spread. The simulated signals have variable numbers, amplitude, phase, delay and bearing components for representing a variety of terrain, environmental, equipment and capacity conditions for both indoor and outdoor applications.
