Autonomous wireless antenna sensor system

摘要

Systems and methods are enclosed for processing antenna position information. The systems and methods involve positioning at least one magnetometer sensor in proximity to an antenna for measuring alignment of the antenna; at a ground station in proximity to a tower holding the antenna, periodically receiving antenna alignment information from the at least one sensor; and transmitting the alignment information to a control station for determination whether the alignment of the antenna complies with antenna specifications.

主权项

1. A method for determining whether the alignment of one or more mounted antennas has changed from a previous antenna alignment comprising the steps of:
deploying in proximity to an antenna at least one magnetometer sensor for measuring alignment of the antenna; periodically transmitting alignment information measured by the at least one sensor to a sensor control station in proximity to a structure holding the antenna; transmitting the antenna alignment information from the sensor control station to a graphical user interface station; comparing the alignment information with a previous antenna alignment setting; and determining whether the measured antenna alignment information falls within an acceptable range of variance of said previous antenna alignment settings.
