1. An antenna system for optimizing gain of a repeater comprising:

  • a donor antenna sub-system that accepts an incoming signal;

    a server antenna sub-system configured to relay an optimized version of the incoming signal;

    a processor to determine an optimal configuration for the antenna system for generating the optimized version of the incoming signal, the optimal configuration being based on an optimal value of a cost function of operating the donor antenna sub-system and/or the server antenna sub-system in each of one or more operational configurations, the cost function being based on one or more operational inputs;

    wherein each of the donor antenna sub-system and the server antenna subsystem provide a radiation pattern that is orthogonal to each other, an orthogonality of the radiation pattern is dynamically changed by the processor according to the configuration, and the radiation pattern is changed by a change in a null position of one or both of the donor antenna sub-system and the server antenna subsystem.
