Abstract

In some embodiments, an apparatus comprises of a ground plane control module included in an antenna system having a set of antenna segments that includes a first antenna segment, a second antenna segment, and a third antenna segment, with each antenna segment associated with a separate ground plane. The ground plane control module is configured to selectively activate the ground plane of the first antenna segment and the second antenna segment such that receive signals and transmit signals are communicated with a first and second user, respectively, when the ground planes of the first and second antenna segments, respectively, are in an activate mode. The ground plane control module is configured to selectively activate the ground plane of the third antenna segment such that the third antenna segment cannot communicate receive signals and transmit signals when the ground plane of the third antenna segment is in a deactivate mode.
