Abstract
A directional antenna connected to a portable communications transceiver is adaptively directed towards a remote station in a communication system. The amount of RF power required by the portable device is significantly reduced, relative to a non-directional antenna. The operational period of the transceiver between battery recharges is therefore considerably maximized.
