Abstract
A method for configuring a multi-mode antenna system is provided. The method includes obtaining channel selection data indicating the antenna system is tuned to a first channel of a plurality of channels. The method includes configuring the antenna system in at least one operating mode of a plurality of operating modes, with each operating mode of the plurality of operating modes having a distinct radiation pattern. The method includes obtaining data indicative of a channel quality indicator for the at least one operating mode. The method includes determining a selected operating mode for the multi-mode antenna system for the first channel of the plurality of channels based, at least in part, on the data indicative of the channel quality indicator. The method includes configuring the antenna system in the selected operating mode when the multi-mode antenna system is tuned to the first channel.
