Abstract:
An automated mobile antenna system has a motion sensor to detect whether it is moving or stationary. An omnidirectional antenna is used for communications while the system is moving, and a directional antenna may be used while the system is stationary. The output power of the transceiver can also be adjusted based on the selected antenna.
