BEAM FORMING AND STEERING USING LTE DIVERSITY ANTENNA

摘要

An antenna system, which is coupled to one or more first transceivers for processing signals according to one or more protocols, respectively, and to a second transceiver for performing a function in conjunction with at least one of the one or more protocols, is provided. The antenna system includes a first antenna, a second antenna, a circuit coupled to the first and second antennas, and a controller configured to control the circuit for enabling beam forming and beam steering or for enabling the function in conjunction with the at least one of the one or more protocols. The circuit includes a phase shifting block configured to provide multiple phase shifts between a first radiation pattern associated with the first antenna and a second radiation pattern associated with the second antenna to generate multiple combined radiation patterns corresponding to the phase shifts, respectively, for the beam forming and beam steering purposes.
