Abstract: A self-provisioning antenna (SPA) system and method provides for automatic simultaneous remote optimization of one or more field antenna terminals over a wireless network. A central server communicates with a field controller to modify configurations of any directional radiating elements, filters settings, and low noise amplifier settings associated with one or more remotely located antenna banks, determines the optimal configurations based on readings of field signal quality metrics including RSSI, EC/IO, and date rate standard samples, and allows a human operator to select a configuration.

Abstract: A signal processor and method for receiving a digital signal and providing an output signal to a signal receiving device includes a receiver for receiving a digital signal from an antenna and a control circuit for adjusting signal attenuation of the digital signal and generating an output signal. The control circuit includes a variable signal attenuator. The control circuit is operable to sample the output signal and to adjust the variable signal attenuator to adjust signal attenuation and the output signal toward a target output level. The adjusted output signal is communicated to the signal receiving device. The signal processor may include a splitter that receives the output signal of the variable signal attenuator and provides two output signals, one of the output signals being communicated to the signal receiving device and another of the output signals being sampled by the control circuit.

Abstract: An interferometric antenna array for use with a wireless communications device in reducing electromagnetic energy in a region proximate to the antenna array. The antenna array comprises two or more radiating elements coupled through circuitry to the wireless communications device. The circuitry operates to appropriately divide a signal from the communications device into a plurality of signals and to phase-shift the plurality of signals such that the electromagnetic wave pattern formed proximate to the antenna array by the two or more radiating elements, which are fed by the phase-shifted plurality od signals, includes a spatial null. The spatial null is located at a region where sensitive electronic equipment, or some portion of a user of the communications device is also located.
