Antenna placement determination device
First Claim
1. An antenna placement determination device comprising:
- a signal sensor located proximate to a first end of an arm, wherein the signal sensor is connected to the arm by a joint, and wherein the signal sensor is configured to be rotated about the joint;
a control system;
a platform located proximate to a second end of the arm;
a drive system connected to the platform, wherein the drive system comprises a drive motor and a drive mechanism, wherein the drive motor is controlled by the control system; and
a marking mechanism located proximate to the first end of the arm, wherein the marking mechanism is configured to mark a location of an installation location for an antenna, wherein the marking mechanism is controlled by the control system.

Abstract
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for an antenna placement determination device. An antenna placement determination device can include a signal sensor located at a first end of an extendible arm, a platform located proximate to a second end of the extendible arm, a drive system connected to the platform, and an actuator connected to the extendible arm. The actuator can be configured to extend and collapse the extendible arm. The signal sensor can be connected to the extendible arm by a joint, and a sensor actuator or sensor motor can rotate the signal sensor about the joint. The drive system can include a drive motor and a drive mechanism that is configured to transport the antenna placement determination device.
