Method of use for an adaptive antenna in same frequency networks

摘要

A method for setting optimal phase settings for a plurality of antenna elements of a subscriber unit in a CDMA cellular telephone system includes the steps of detecting a received pilot signal at each of the plurality of antenna elements, combining the received pilot signal detected at each of the plurality of antenna elements with a summation circuit to produce a combined received pilot signal, determining a quality metric for the combined received pilot signal and adjusting phase settings of at least one of the plurality of antenna elements on the subscriber unit in response to the quality metric of the received pilot signal. These steps are repeated until the determined quality metric of the combined received pilot signal reaches a maximum.
