Abstract
In the multi-sector base station apparatus of a mobile communication system, capable of realizing a six-sector base station apparatus by using a three-sector base station MODEM, a peripheral equipment controlling unit transfers a sector conversion control signal outputted from a CPU for controlling a sector switching of the base station, to a sector conversion controlling unit, and the sector conversion controlling unit generates a plural number of control signals for a sector conversion according to the inputted control signal and sector conversion data, and by this control signal, a sector converting unit performs a switching between sectors of a transmission signal from a base station MODEM and a reception signal transmitted from a mobile station, whereby the six-sector base station is realized through a use of the three-sector base station base station MODEM.
