1. A receiver comprises:

  • an antenna array operable to receive an inbound wireless signal;

    an angular positioning module coupled to the antenna array, wherein the angular positioning module is operable to;

    receive a plurality of received inbound wireless signals from the antenna array;

    determine angular position of a source of the inbound wireless signal from at least some of the plurality of received inbound wireless signals based on a first radiation pattern and a second radiation pattern of the plurality of received inbound wireless signals; and

    output a representation of the inbound wireless signal;

    a low noise amplifier module operably coupled to amplify the representation of the inbound wireless signal to produce an amplified inbound wireless signal; and

    a down conversion module operably coupled to convert the amplified inbound wireless signal into a baseband or near baseband signal.
