- the Doppler frequency FD is lower than about 10 Hz, it is assumed that the terminal has hardly moved. For such a terminal that has almost stopped, if the above-described calculation for estimating the complicated transmission response vector is performed by the transmission response vector estimator 40, an error may occur instead. However, it is considered preferable to copy the reception response vector at the time of reception as it is to the terminal stopped in this way and use it for control of transmission directivity.
- the switch 38 selects the reception weight vector calculated by the reception weight vector computer 20. Then, it is directly provided to multipliers 15-1 15-2, 15-3 15-4 as a transmission weight vector.
- the switching switch 38 selects the transmission weight vector newly calculated by the transmission weight vector calculator 30 and selects the multiplier 15 15 -2, 15-3, 15-4. As a result, more accurate and efficient transmission directivity control according to the Doppler frequency FD becomes possible.
- the measurement of the reception response vector to obtain the simultaneous equation of Equation (4) is performed. This was done by setting the number of timings necessary to solve the equations in one transmission slot of the uplink. However, the timing of measuring the reception response vector does not need to be set centrally in one transmission slot, but may be set dispersedly in two or more transmission slots in the uplink. .
- the reception response vector is decomposed into a signal waveform for each frequency, the coefficient is obtained, and the time t is increased to increase the signal for each frequency.
- the reception response vector at time t is estimated by predicting the change in the waveform and synthesizing the signal waveform at that time.
- the transmission response vector can be estimated without causing an error due to the effect of fading as in the case of the conventional outer processing, and accurate transmission directivity control can be performed.
- the estimated reception response vector is regarded as a composite waveform of a function of a plurality of frequencies.
