1. A system for optimizing a directional communication link, the system comprising:

  • a directional transmitter having a steerable antenna, and configured to transmit a signal over the directional communication link, and further configured to align the steerable antenna based in part on a feedback signal;

    a directional receiver configured to receive the signal transmitted by the directional transmitter and determine a signal metric based in part on the received signal;

    a feedback transmitter coupled to the directional receiver and configured to transmit the signal metric over a feedback link distinct from the directional communication link; and

    a feedback receiver coupled to the directional transmitter and configured to receive the signal metric from the feedback transmitter and communicate the signal metric to the directional transmitter as the feedback signal.
