Abstract

Measures for fading-based control of an antenna radiation pattern. Such measures may comprise reception of at least one radio wave signal via an antenna unit, detection of fading conditions in relation to the received at least one radio wave signal, and control of an antenna radiation pattern of the antenna unit, at least in terms of antenna lobe width, on the basis of the detected fading conditions.
