Summary: 
Transmit diversity schemes are an effective capacity improvement method for down link of wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) systems. In this paper, we propose to use transmit antenna subset selection scheme in conjunction with closed loop transmit adaptive array (TxAA). The proposed scheme selects NS optimum antennas among NT (>NS) transmit antennas in order to maximize diversity gain from the selected antennas, and also reduces the cost of RF chains by employing two different types of RF modules for the selected and the unselected antenna group, respectively. Computer simulation results show performance improvement by the proposed scheme over the conventional TxAA when considering up link control information feedback.
