Wireless apparatus and wireless communication system

A wireless apparatus to receive a signal by using a plurality of antennas, the wireless apparatus comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive the signal;
• a first switching unit configured to switch a receive beam pattern of the receiver;
• a first selection unit configured to select a receive beam pattern with better reception quality from among the receive beam patterns switched to by the first switching unit;
• a generation unit configured to generate a receive beam pattern obtained by rotating a phase of the receive beam pattern selected by the first selection unit;
• a second switching unit configured to switch a receive beam pattern of the receiver to the receive beam pattern selected by the first selection unit and the receive beam pattern generated by the generation unit;
• a second selection unit configured to select a receive beam pattern of a combination with better reception quality out of combinations of the receive beam patterns switched to by the second switching unit and transmit beam patterns switched to by a wireless transmission apparatus which transmits the signal;
• and
• a setting unit configured to set a receive beam pattern of the receiver in the receive beam pattern selected by the second selection unit.

A wireless communication system comprising:

• a wireless transmission apparatus;
• and
• a wireless reception apparatus, wherein:
• the wireless transmission apparatus and the wireless reception apparatus perform wireless communication by using a plurality of antennas;
• the wireless transmission apparatus includes
• a transmitter which transmits a signal,
• a first transmission side switching unit which switches a transmit beam pattern of the transmitter,
• a first receiver which receives, from the wireless reception apparatus, a transmit beam pattern with better reception quality among transmit beam patterns switched to by the first transmission side switching unit,
• a transmission side generation unit which generates a transmit beam pattern obtained by rotating a phase of the transmit beam pattern received by the first receiver,
• a second transmission side switching unit which switches a transmit beam pattern of the transmitter to a transmit beam pattern received by the first receiver and a transmit beam pattern generated by the transmission side generation unit,
• a second receiver which receives, from the wireless reception apparatus, a transmit beam pattern of a combination with better reception quality out of combinations of the transmit beam patterns switched to by the second transmission side switching unit and receive beam patterns switched to by the wireless reception apparatus, and
• a transmission side setting unit which sets a transmit beam pattern of the transmitter in the transmit beam pattern received by the second receiver;
• and
• the wireless reception apparatus includes
• a receiver which receives the signal,
• a first reception side switching unit which switches a receive beam pattern of the receiver,
• a first selection unit which selects a receive beam pattern with better reception quality among receive beam patterns switched to by the first reception side switching unit,
• a reception side generation unit which generates a receive beam pattern obtained by rotating a phase of the receive beam pattern selected by the first selection unit,
• a second reception side switching unit which switches a receive beam pattern of the receiver to the receive beam pattern selected by the first selection unit and the receive beam pattern generated by the reception side generation unit,
• a second selection unit which selects a receive beam pattern of a combination with better reception quality out of combinations of the receive beam patterns switched to by the second reception side switching unit and transmit beam patterns switched to by the wireless transmission apparatus, and
• a reception side setting unit which sets a receive beam pattern of the receiver in the receive beam pattern selected by the second selection unit.
