Abstract: In order to improve the communication quality and transmission rate of WLAN, the key technologies of smart antenna in WLAN based on adaptive array are proposed. The adaptive array is used to suppress the WLAN interference signal, and the feedback from the output is used to adjust the weight loaded on the signal, and the optimal weight corresponding to the linear constraint minimum variance is obtained to achieve beamforming optimization. On this basis, the optimal antenna selection algorithm and the sub-optimal antenna selection algorithm are designed, and the sub-channel matrix with the maximum capacity can be obtained by repeated iterative calculation, so as to realize the smart antenna selection and further optimize the performance of WLAN. Experimental results show that the smart antenna signal has 100% coverage in WLAN compared with conventional methods. When the transmission rate is greater than 35 mb/s, the delay of the study method is not jitter compared to the contrast method. When the transmission rate is greater than 35 mb/s, the packet loss rate of the proposed method remains stable, while the packet loss rate of the two comparison methods begins to increase. When the transmission rate is greater than 12 mb/s, the throughput of the proposed method is more stable than the other methods. In conclusion, this method has the characteristics of large signal coverage, low delay, low packet loss rate and high throughput, and can be widely used in practice. The contribution of this study is that the weight of the antenna array can be dynamically adjusted through the adaptive algorithm, thus optimizing the quality of the received signal and improving the receiving sensitivity.
