Abstract :
A simple method of substantial reduction (up to 1-2 orders) of power of base station and mobile unit transmitters used in mobile communication systems by the use of a self-phased array antenna which employs a pilot signal has been proposed. The increase in talk time and the reduction of battery weight by this method is also possible. Estimations of transmitted power reduction and examples of frequency assignment are given. Influence of electromagnetic environment on the self-phased array operation is discussed
