Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining antenna coupling among a plurality of antennas of the communication device and adjusting beam forming for the plurality of antennas utilizing phase shifters coupled with radiating elements of the plurality of antennas, where the adjusting of the beam forming is based on forming a desired antenna pattern that increases radiated throughput and reduces the antenna coupling among the plurality of antennas. Other embodiments are disclosed.
