Abstract

This is invention discloses a perturbation antenna system for wireless communication terminals such mobile handsets, mobile embedded laptops, mobile CPEs (Customer premises equipment), nomadic wireless CPEs, fixed wireless terminals and etc. The perturbation antenna output is analogically combined with that of the primary antenna. The combined result is to re-create the antenna pattern shape and its direction pointing in order to achieve gains by user intercept. A variable delay circuitry is equipped to the perturbation antenna therefore the user'"'"'s interception can be enforced via programmable apparatus either by manually or by digital inputs. The user can tune the delay parameters meanwhile observe the antenna pattern changes and the call quality until satisfaction.
