How to specify a phase to transmit in a WLAN system?

HI.
I am doing the simulation of different WLAN systems, and I have a question, is it possible to manipulate the phase with which the signal is transmitted?, Since in the information of the rays it gives me the phase with which it is received . But, is it possible to tell the program, apart from the output power, a phase with which I would like to transmit?

    No, there is no such option. Why do you need to specify a phase as that is not going to change the gain of the Tx/Rx antenna (as the gain patterns are used for Tx and Rx).

    We need to specify the phase to apply beamforming or MIMO precoding techniques.
