In this article, the performance of a circular crossed‐dipole array (CCDA) for space division multiple access (SDMA) configurations adopting directivity and polarization control is presented. The array consists of 12 dual‐polarized elements uniformly distributed in a circular configuration; each dual‐polarized element (crossed‐dipole) consists of two half‐wave dipoles in a ±45° slant configuration. The modified particle swarm optimization and moment of method (MPSO‐MOM) algorithm is used to calculate the complex weightings of the array elements in a mutual coupling environment for beamforming synthesis. In addition, the performance of the adaptive array using discrete feedings (1‐bit amplitude and 4‐bit phase shifters or only 4‐bit phase shifters) is studied. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
