| 20110143673 | AUTOMATIC POSITIONING OF DIVERSITY ANTENNA ARRAY - Embodiments of the invention provide an antenna system for connecting to a wireless device through a communication link. The antenna system comprising an antenna array configured to pre-scan frequency bands of radio signals in a plurality of antenna array directions, a transceiver connected to the antenna array. The transceiver is configured to analyze the signals received from the antenna array to obtain one or more parameters from one or more MIMO channels of the antenna array, and transmit the one or more parameters to the antenna controller. Further, the antenna system comprises a platform connected to the antenna array, wherein the platform is configured to position the antenna array, and a motor controller connected to the platform. The motor controller is configured to receive one or more position signals from the device, wherein the position signals correspond to a pre-scanned performance level of the communication link based on the parameters, and control the position of the antenna array by rotating the platform based on the position signals. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20100034133 | Systems and methods for efficiently positioning a directional antenna module to receive and transmit the most effective band width of wireless transmissions - Wireless systems and methods establish an optimal wireless communication link by efficiently positioning an antenna module to receive/transmit the most effective signal. An antenna module scans and rotates and receives data such as available networks and the qualities of received signals. Received networks are analyzed, recorded and mapped to antenna variables such as azimuth, elevation and polarity. Automatic or manual selection of a wireless network is based upon antenna variables, qualities of received network signals and predefined conditions. If desired, a more refined antenna position is obtained by the addition of spiral antenna rotations and additional recordings of received data are mapped to antenna elevation, azimuth and polarity. In the event the measured effective signal reception diminishes, the center destination of the spiral path shifts and the process repeats until the highest effective signal reception is found. The disclosed technique acknowledges the realities of complicated modern day signal topography. | 02-11-2010 |
