A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING AN ANTENNA PATTERN

摘要

In an electronic circuit for forming an antenna pattern, the antenna signals having the required phase shift are generated by means of two phase-locked loops which have a common reference signal. A control current, which is added at the output node of the charge pump 26 and/or 27, is used to control the phase shift of the antenna signals. This allows the implementation of the phase shift operation in the analog domain, which decreases the cost of a corresponding consumer device, such as a car-radio or a mobile communication system.
