Abstract
A process which adjusts the transmission and reception chains of the paths formed by a base station of a system for radio communication between mobiles which after calibration of the antenna base adjusts the reception chains relating to each path by distributing a first specified adjustment signal synchronously over each of the reception chains and calculating an equalization filter which inverts the transfer functions related to each reception chain. The process next adjusts the transmission chains related to each path by distributing a second specified adjustment signal synchronously over each of the transmission chains, by extracting from each of the paths a part of a transmission signal before the transmission signal is sent to the antenna base so as to re-inject that part of the transmission signal into the reception chains, and by calculating an equalization filter which inverts the transfer functions related to each transmission chain. Finally, the process receives via the equalization filters previously calculated for the reception chains reception signals originating from the antenna base, or transmits via the equalization filters previously calculated for the transmission chains the transmission signals originating from the multipath transmission/reception device.
