Abstract
The invention relates to a method for automatically adjusting a multiple-input-port and multiple-output-port tuning unit. The invention also relates to an apparatus for radio communication using this method. An apparatus for radio communication of the invention comprises: 4 antennas which form a multiport antenna array; 4 feeders; a multiple-input-port and multiple-output-port tuning unit having 4 input ports and 4 output ports; 4 sensing units; a transmission and signal processing unit, which applies 4 excitations to the input ports, one and only one of the excitations being applied to each of the input ports, and which delivers tuning unit adjustment instructions; and a control unit, which delivers one or more tuning control signals to the multiple-input-port and multiple-output-port tuning unit.
