Abstract
A telecommunications system is provided that is controllably operable as a sectorized antenna system and as an omnidirectional antenna system without requiring hardware reconfiguration. The telecommunications system includes a phase correlation measurement unit that can be between a sectorized antenna sub-system and a remotely located RF source site. The phase correlation measurement unit can be coupled to the RF source site over at least one feed line. The phase correlation measurement unit can output signals for controlling a phase shifter at the RF source site for phase shifting downlink signals and for causing operation of the sectorized antenna sub-system as an omnidirectional antenna sub-system. In a sectorized operation mode, the phase correlation measurement unit and the phase shifter can be inactivated.
