ANTENNA SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF A SHORT RANGE WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

AN ANTENNA SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING NETWORK ACCESS SERVICES TO WIRELESS USERS GENERATES AT LEAST A FIRST AND A SECOND ANTENNA BEAM, WHERE THE SECOND ANTENNA BEAM IS MOVABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST. ADDITIONAL ANTENNA BEAMS MAY ALSO BE GENERATED. DURING INSTALLATION OF THE ANTENNA SYSTEM, AND INSTALLER MAY ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE SECOND ANTENNA BEAM (AND POSSIBLY OTHER ANTENNA BEAMS ) IN A MANNER THAT ENHANCES THE MAXIMUM DATA-RATE COVERAGE AREA OF THE ANTENNA SYSTEM FOR A GIVEN DEPLOYMENT REGION.
