<p>A base station includes a radio channel generating circuit for generating a plurality of individual radio channel signals each at a different frequency from one another, and a plurality of individual phased array antennas operatively connected to the radio channel generating circuit so that each individual phased array antenna transmits only one individual radio channel signal at a time. Each of the phased array antennas preferably includes a substrate and a plurality of radiating elements mounted thereon in a predetermined pattern. Each radiating element is readily provided by a stripline, and the substrate is preferably a circuit board. Accordingly, another feature of the base station according to the invention is that power radiated by each phased array antenna can be selectively controlled to reduce possible interference while maintaining communications with respective mobile units that are both near and far from the base station. A switch may be provided between the radio channel generating circuit and the phased array antennas to facilitate cell splitting. Method aspects for operating the base station are also disclosed.</p> |
