The global smart antenna market size is anticipated to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising need for high-speed communication networks.
Smart antennas are arrays formed in antenna with intelligent signal processing algorithms that differentiate spatial signal indicators. Direction of arrival (DOA) and its use to estimate beamforming vectors, which are further used to position and track the antenna beam on the target/mobile. Smart antenna techniques are mostly integrated into several equipment such as track & scan radar, acoustic signal processing, radio astronomy, radio telescopes, as well as cellular systems. These antennas offer many functions such as beamforming, interference nulling, DOA estimation, and constant modulus preservation.
The COVID-19 outbreak has brought negative impact on the market due to the shortage of supply chain in the semi-conductor sector globally. The market is expected to recover soon with an uptrend operation due to subsiding the COVID cases gradually across the globe.
