    摘要: Communication structure for communication with a mobile communication apparatus includes a signal conduction module having an array of antenna units; and a signal transceiving module including a signal transceiving unit, control unit, and power control unit. The control unit generates a driving signal to the power control unit, which generates a voltage to the signal transceiving unit; the signal transceiving unit generates a corresponding spectrum signal, transferred by the signal conduction module. The mobile communication apparatus receives the spectrum signal and transfers a first feedback signal. The first feedback signal, after being received by the signal conduction module, is transferred to the signal transceiving unit, which generates a second feedback signal to the control unit, the control unit identifies the second feedback signal and generates a control signal to the signal conduction module; the array of antenna units is controlled by the control signal correspondingly to enhance communication quality.
