INTERFERENCE REDUCTION SYSTEM FOR ONE OR MORE ANTENNAS

摘要

An interference reduction system is operable to reduce interference experienced by one or more antennas. The system detects the presence of one or more interference signals. The system then causes an antenna's radiation pattern to change. The change in the radiation pattern results in a reduction in interference.

主权项

1. An interference reduction system for at least one antenna, the interference reduction system comprising:
at least one antenna control module configured to be operatively coupled to the at least one antenna, the at least one antenna being operable to produce radiation having a radiation pattern, the radiation pattern having at least one null, the at least one antenna control module configured to: start a detection mode when a detection start condition is satisfied independent of any input from a user; control an antenna motor that is operatively coupled to the at least one antenna so as to cause the at least one antenna to rotate during the detection mode; detect at least one source of interference within a detectable range of the at least one antenna, wherein the at least one antenna receives at least one interference signal caused by the at least one source of interference; and control the at least one antenna motor to stop the rotation of the at least one antenna so as to align the at least one null with a direction of the received interference signal.
