The project is aimed at the development and practical implementation of the new generation adaptive antenna for mobile communications networks and Wi-Fi hotspots. The proposed antenna is based on a digital active phased array with adaptive multiuser beam-free algorithm. It does not use beams for the space division. Instead the antenna elements receive signals from all directions and a special mathematical algorithm selects desired signals with the best signal-to-noise ratio. Such technology is more efficient than the traditional beam forming. It allows operating with larger number of users in the same time-frequency slot and improving radio channel quality. The project has received several diplomas and awards at the scientific conferences and competitions including AP-RASC (Japan), MMET (Ukraine), "Telecom Ideas" (Russia), NRU Higher School of Economics "Open competitions of innovation projects" (Russia).
