Abstract

A communication system includes a plurality of radio chains, each configured to generate an electrical signal having a predetermined frequency that is distinct that of the other radio chains. One or more antennas are connected to the plurality of radio chains to emit and/or receive an electromagnetic signal with a frequency corresponding to that of the electrical signal generated by the radio chains, and an electronic selection circuit has inputs connected to the radio chains and one or more outputs connected to the antennas, which are configured to selectively emit the electromagnetic signal associated with each radio chain according to distinct and different radiation patterns. The electronic circuit controls the antennas to select a radiation pattern associated with the corresponding electrical signal generated by the radio chains, which is associated with the electrical signal of a given radio chain varies according to the radiation pattern selected for the electrical signal of one or more of the other radio chains distinct from the radio chain. A method for selecting a radiation pattern associated with the antennas of a communication system.
