On the afternoon of Mar. 14th, 2008, TD-SCDMA Forum hosted a seminar on Progress of TD-SCDMA Smart Antenna R&D. The seminar aimed to facilitate communications of smart antenna vendors and other related parties with telecom carriers. Issues explored in the seminar included TD smart antenna furturization, wideband antenna, electric adjusted antenna, smart antenna/ RU integration, research of dual-polarization antenna (TD+MIMO）, installation of TD smart antennas in outdoor environment etc.

More than 50 delegates from domestic and overseas telecom carriers, smart antenna manufacturers and TD Forum member organizations attended the seminar. Included China Mobile, China Netcom, NTTDOCOMO, France Telecom, Comba, Hongxin, Morbi, Datang Mobile, Nokia-Siemens Networks, Huawei Technologies, Shanghai Bell Alcatel, TD Tech, NEC, NXP, Qualcomm, MTK, Fujitsu, T3G, Agilent, Lenovo, Desay Group, etc.

The Seminar was chaired by Ms. Yang Yuanyi, Vice Secretary-General of TD-SCDMA Forum. Delegates from China Mobile presented first. He introduced latest progress of TD-SCDMA smart antenna R&D and addressed the future trends of TD smart antenna. Later, delegates from Datang Mobile, TD Tech, Comba and Morbi delivered their presentations respectively on topics of development and evolution of smart antenna, dual-polarization antenna, analysis on unit inefficacy and optimization of compact smart antenna, new TD smart antenna solutions, etc. The interactive communication session was presided by Dr. Ma Xin from China Mobile R&D institute. Issues tapped in this session were focused on dual-polarization of TD smart antenna; wideband antenna technology, remote control of electric adjusted antenna, how to minimize mobile communication towers, how to improve smart antenna appearance and its impact on smart antenna cost and functions, etc.

TD-SCDMA Forum will continue to well bridge its member organizations with Chinese government and telecom operators. We will closely monitor and promote any progress in our member organizations and host different activities at different stages to facilitate TD commercialization.
