Abstract: A system and method is provided for performing an automated a site survey process for adjusting radiation patterns of access point antennas in a wireless network. The system and method utilize wireless mobile devices in their normal process of carrying about ordinary traffic to measure network performance. Further, such information is utilizes to configure the radiation patterns of the access point antennas to tailor coverage areas of the antennas to current network conditions.
Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods (i.e., utilities)that allow for synthesizing antenna patters for wireless access points that provide coverage in a wireless network. The utilities utilize various mathematical models to identify antenna settings that enhance coverage of a coverage area.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for providing a bi-directional vector modulator in which the signal can travel in either direction while the phase shift remains constant. In addition to the functionality of being a phase shifter, the disclosed invention acts as a vector modulator by having the ability to continuously control both the amplitude and phase of a signal.
