Abstract
A switched beam smart antenna apparatus is disclosed including: a first, a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh, and an eighth beam adjusting elements; a first, a second, a third, and a fourth beam control modules; a first, a second, a third, and a fourth radiation strips positioned within an area surrounded by the first to eighth beam adjusting elements; and a radiation strip control module for selecting either the first and second radiation strips or the third and fourth radiation strips to transmit signals. When the first beam control module conducts the first and second beam adjusting elements, the third beam control module does not conduct the fifth and sixth beam adjusting elements. When the second beam control module conducts the third and fourth beam adjusting elements, the fourth beam control module does not conduct the seventh and eighth beam adjusting elements.
