Abstract

A cellular base site having one or more sectors has in each sector a plurality of antennas 102 or antenna beams (from a phase array) for voice channel communications, each antenna or beam providing coverage in a selected azimuthal direction. The antennas are also used for receiving uplink control channel signals thus ensuring the same coverage for voice ands control channels. The antennas are divided preferably equally into a first group and a second group. All of the RE signals received by the first group are combined to form a first composite signal. All of the RF signals received by the second group are combined to form a second composite signal. The first and second composite signals are provided to separate diversity inputs of a control channel radio 145, and also to the separate diversity inputs of a locate radio 147 used to measure signal strengths for handoff decisions. Each antenna or beam in the first group may be situated between antennas or beams of the second group. A separate antenna 170 is used for downlink control channel signalling.
