Multimode sectored antenna systems

摘要

Multimode sectored antenna systems for use in wireless communication systems. In one example, the sectored antenna systems provide the capability of flexibly allocating a number of data carriers having different data transporting capacities, to simultaneously accommodate a variety of user demands in both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations. In another example, various sectored antenna systems provide the capability of radiating a number of data carriers each having a variety of spatial profiles in azimuth and elevation, and at a variety of elevation angles, to accommodate a number of possible user topological distributions throughout a coverage area.
