Antenna is the essential component in wireless communication system. The field of smart antenna applications has drawn increased interest in both wireless communications as well as radar systems In this report, the implementation of four-element monopole smart antenna with operating frequency of 1.8 GHz is studied. The main scope of this report is to study how four-element array monopole smart antenna is implemented and the four monopoles antenna are modelled and simulated using High Frequency Structures Simulator (HFFS) software. Finally, this report shows the learning process of designing four-element array using HFFS software and the beam-forming results are demonstrated using High Frequency Structures Simulator software.
