Abstract

When the average received signal level falls below a given threshold level, a received level detecting/monitoring section informs a microprocessor of it. The microprocessor then collects information of the arrival direction and received power of desired radiation from each terminal station and the arrival direction and received power of undesired radiation from each source of undesired radiation and recalculates amplitude and phase weight values. The microprocessor rewrites weight values already entered into a weight value table by the recalculated weight values to thereby alter amplitude and phase weight values for antenna elements of an array antenna. Thereby, the directivity of the array antenna is subjected to optimum control according to variations in electromagnetic radiation propagation environment, allowing good radio communications at all times.
