Abstract
The invention in general terms relates to an antenna device for a telecommunication station, able to transmit or receive a signal and comprising a plurality of radiating elements disposed in a periodic arrangement having at least one spatial periodicity. The device has antenna configuration means adapted to cause the value of the said spatial periodicity to vary according to the transmission conditions. The antenna device can in particular be configured so as to operate according to a beam shaping mode or according to a spatial diversity mode.
