—A system consisting of a smart antenna and a processor can perform filtering in both the time and space domain,thus reducing the sensitivity of the receiver to interfering directional noise sources. Smart antennas can be used for further increase in the capacity of a communication system and for variable speed of transmission for multimedia information. Switched beam antenna arrays are a subset of smart antennas that cover either the x-y plane or a portion of it with multiple radiation patterns. A processor can decide which pattern to use for reception or transmission. In this paper the use of genetic algorithms (GAs) is examined in the design of switched beam antenna arrays. The antenna consists of five or six elements and the radiation patterns vary from 4 to 8,covering the x-y plane with the main beams of the radiation patterns pointing at 0,. Such a configuration can be used in sector antennas,which are widely used in 2G mobile communication systems.
