Receiver utilizing multiple radiation patterns to determine angular position
First Claim
1. A receiver comprising:
- an angular positioning module configured to couple with an antenna array, the angular positioning module configured to;
receive a plurality of inbound wireless signals;
determine angular position of a source of an inbound wireless signal from at least some of the plurality of inbound wireless signals based on a first radiation pattern and a second radiation pattern of the plurality of inbound wireless signals;
adjust the first and the second radiation pattern to affect reception strength of the inbound wireless signal; and
output a representation of the inbound wireless signal.

Abstract
A receiver includes an antenna array, an angular positioning module, a low noise amplifier module, and a down conversion module. The antenna array is operable to receive an inbound wireless signal. The angular positioning module is operable to: receive a plurality of received inbound wireless signals from the antenna array. An angular position of a source of the inbound wireless signal is determined 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. The low noise amplifier module is operably coupled to amplify the representation of the inbound wireless signal to produce an amplified inbound wireless signal. The down conversion module is operably coupled to convert the amplified inbound wireless signal into a baseband or near baseband signal.
