Method and system for controlling a modal antenna

An antenna system, comprising:

• a first modal antenna comprising a first driven element and a first parasitic element positioned proximate to the first driven element, the first modal antenna operable in a plurality of different modes, each mode associated with a different radiation pattern of the first modal antenna;
• a second modal antenna that is separate from the first modal antenna, the second modal antenna comprising a second driven element and a second parasitic element positioned proximate to the second driven element, the second modal antenna operable in a plurality of different modes, each mode associated with a different radiation pattern of the second modal antenna;
• a first tuning circuit configured to control an electrical characteristic associated with the first parasitic element to operate the first modal antenna in the plurality of different modes;
• a second tuning circuit configured to control an electrical characteristic associated with the second parasitic element to operate the second modal antenna in the plurality of different modes;
• a radio frequency circuit configured to generate a plurality of control signals;
• a first transmission line coupling the radio frequency circuit to the first modal antenna;
• and
• a second transmission line coupling the radio frequency circuit to the second modal antenna,
• wherein:
• the radio frequency circuit is configured to adjust a mode of the first modal antenna based on a first control signal of the plurality of control signals;
• and
• the radio frequency circuit is configured to adjust a mode of the second modal antenna based on a second control signal of the plurality of control signals that is different from the first control signal.
