| 1. An apparatus comprising:
a transceiver;
three or more antennas configured to transmit and receive signals, the three or more antennas including a first antenna having
a first feed line length, a second antenna having a second feed line length, and a third antenna having a third feed line
length, wherein the third feed line length is different than the second feed line length; and
an integrated circuit configured to:
at a first time, select for transmission and reception of electromagnetic radiation, from the three or more antennas, the
first antenna and the second antenna, wherein the first feed line length and the second feed line length are selected so that
the first antenna and the second antenna operate together to achieve a first predetermined phase and angle when operating
in a specified frequency band, and
at a second time that is different than the first time, and in response to a change in position of one or more participants
participating in communications with the apparatus, select for transmission and reception of electromagnetic radiation from
the three or more antennas, the first antenna and the third antenna, wherein the first feed line length and the third feed
line length are selected so that the first antenna and the third antenna operate together to achieve a second predetermined
phase and angle when operating in the specified frequency band, wherein the second predetermined phase and angle are different
than the first predetermined phase and angle.
