Abstract
A point-to-multipoint communication system wherein the base station broadcasts the same frequency band signals over multiple sectors of given node. The base station includes a plurality of channel receivers (ch. 1-ch. n) for each sector and a plurality of antennas 36a and 36b selectively coupled to said channel receivers. The subsector antennas have these radiation centers offset from each other to present different coverage over the node.
