Abstract
Apparatus and methods for beamforming communication systems with power control based on antenna pattern configuration are provided. In certain embodiments, a beamforming communication system includes an antenna array including a plurality of antenna elements. The beamforming communication system further includes a plurality of signal conditioning circuits operatively associated with the antenna elements, and an antenna array management circuit that generates a plurality of control signals that individually control the signal conditioning circuits. The antenna array management circuit achieves a desired level of power control based on generating the control signals to select an antenna pattern configuration associated with a desired power control level.
