ABSTRACT:
An antenna system is comprised of a plurality of independently constructed and operated antenna units, upon which are mounted a plurality of transmit and receive antenna pairs. This structure provides a means for the antenna system to be arranged to provide substantially hemispherical radio coverage. By adjusting the phase of each version of a radio signal to the transmitter or received, the signal may be formed into a beam according to known techniques of directional beam forming providing the antenna system with directional gain. Additionally, using a plurality of transmit and receive antenna pairs reduces the energy transmitted by each transmit antenna alone to a level which permits a branch line coupler to be sufficient to orthogonally polarize the transmitted and received radio signals negating the requirement for the duplexing filter for duplex operation.
