ABSTRACT:
The information terminal unit comprises a transceiver and a processor, while the variable directional antenna comprises a main antenna element to which the transceiver directly supplies a radio frequency signal, and a plurality of sub antenna elements. The sub antenna elements are connected with variable phase shifter circuits for determining a phase shift amount of a reflecting wave, respectively. The control circuit receives the directivity data from the CPU of the information terminal unit and analyzes the received data to control the phase shift amount of each variable phase shifter circuit. Thereby the phase shift amounts of the respective sub antenna elements are adjusted so that the wave fronts of the waves radiated or secondarily radiated from the main antenna element and sub antenna elements are aligned in a certain direction, and then the variable directional antenna is controlled so as to have a directivity in that direction.
