Abstract

An antenna includes an antenna circuit, at least two switch circuits, and a processor. The at least two switch circuits are arranged in at least two gaps of two side surfaces of the antenna circuit. The processor is configured to obtain a plurality of signal strengths received by the antenna circuit from each of a plurality of radiation directions, based on the plurality of signal strengths, determine a first strongest signal strength and a radiation direction corresponding to the strongest signal strength, and lock in a first radiation direction of the antenna circuit in the radiation direction corresponding to the first strongest signal strength. The plurality of radiation directions are formed by controlling on/off states of the at least two switch circuits.
