1. A system for performing both wireless communications and wireless sensing in combination, the system comprising:
a base station (BS) including each of at least one antenna device including a first antenna device and at least one control unit coupled at least indirectly to the at least one antenna device, wherein the control unit includes:
an input port coupled at least indirectly to the first antenna device;
an output port; and
a controllable circuit including each of a spillover cancellation circuit and a bypass circuit, wherein the controllable circuit is coupled at least indirectly between the input port and output port;
wherein the BS is configured to operate in each of a communication mode and a sensing mode,
wherein, when the BS operates in the sensing mode, the spillover cancellation circuit of the controllable circuit is enabled and performs spillover cancellation in generating the output signal based at least in part upon the input signal, and
wherein, when the BS operates in a communication mode, the bypass circuit operates so that the spillover cancellation circuit is bypassed or otherwise does not affect how the output signal is generated based at least in part upon the input signal.
