Abstract
A wireless transmitter and receiver are used in a wireless telecommunication system and method including antennas having at least one antenna element with a relatively narrow beamwidth at both the transmitter and receiver for high data rate communication. The antenna element provides beam coverage in both azimuthal and elevational directions, and a processor is operatively connected to the antenna and is capable of determining a suitable communication path with respect to the at least one antenna element and predetermined communications conditions.

28. A wireless telecommunications system comprising:
-
an antenna array having at least two antenna elements, each antenna element providing beam coverage in both azimuthal and elevational directions using a narrow beamwidth antenna element for establishing an optimum communication path; and a processor operatively connected to the antenna array for determining the optimum communication path with respect to one of the at least two antenna elements for transmitting and receiving signals along said optimum communication path where said signals propagating along the optimum communication path exhibit the lowest attenuation in signal power as compared to signals propagating in communication paths other than the optimum communication path, the processor including; a transmitter having a modulator for modulating a data signal for transmission by the antenna array along said optimum communication path; and a receiver having a demodulator for demodulating a received signal received from the antenna array along said optimum communication path. - View Dependent Claims (29)
