  • Patent number: 11917434
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automated mapping of wireless network quality. A client device includes a processor, a network port configured to receive data from a receiver, and a global positioning system (GPS) module configured to determine a position of the client device. A network interface controller is configured to communicate with a server. A client memory stores a data collector configured to associate data received at the network port with a position of the client device when the data was received and provide the data and associated location to the network interface controller for transmission to the server. The server includes a processor, a network interface controller configured to communicate with the client device, and a memory. The server memory stores a data analyzer that determines, for each position of the client device, a set of at least one data quality metric for the receiver.

  • Patent number: 10847894
    Abstract: A bidirectional antenna assembly includes a radiative assembly operatively connected to an antenna feed and at least one passive conductive element. The passive conductive element includes at least first and second planar conductive sheets, each which are substantially perpendicular to a plane passing through the connection of the radiative assembly to the antenna field and arranged at an angle greater than ninety degrees relative to one another. The passive conductive element interacts with the radiative assembly to provide a bidirectional radiation pattern.

  • Patent number: 9385434
    Abstract: A multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antenna system includes an electrically conductive, substantially planar, ground reference and a plurality of antenna assemblies electrically connected to respective antenna feeds at respective connection points. The antenna assemblies extend on a first side of the ground reference and are formed from a conductive material. Each antenna assembly is rotationally asymmetric around an axis perpendicular to the ground reference and passing through the connection point.

  • Patent number: 8878744
    Abstract: An antenna assembly having a characteristic frequency band includes an antenna feed, operatively connected to one of a radio frequency (RF) transmitter, an RF receiver, and an RF transceiver system, and a ground component. A first set of conductive elements, including either or both of linear, bent linear, and curvilinear elements, is operatively connected to the antenna feed. A second set of conductive elements, including either or both of linear, bent linear, and curvilinear elements, is operatively connected to the ground component. Each of the first set of linear conductive elements and the second set of linear conductive elements are configured as to provide substantially equal sensitivity within the characteristic frequency band across all elevation and azimuth angles.

  • Patent number: 8816934
    Abstract: An antenna assembly is provided, including a first radiative element. The first radiative element is oriented such that a first end of the radiative element is operatively connected to an antenna feed and at least a portion of the radiative element includes a first conical, helical coil. The first conical, helical coil reaches a maximum diameter at a point farthest from the antenna feed. A counterpoise structure includes one of an electrically conductive ground structure operatively connected to a ground associated with the antenna feed and a second radiative element operatively connected to the antenna feed and the first radiative element at the antenna feed.

  • Patent number: 8717250
    Abstract: Antenna assemblies are provided for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals over an enhanced frequency band. An assembly includes an electrically conductive ground reference and a radiative element formed from an electrically conductive material and comprising an apex. The radiative element is electrically connected to an antenna feed at the apex and configured such that the radiative element lacks two-fold rotational symmetry around a first axis coinciding with the antenna feed. The radiative element extends such that a distance between the radiative element and the electrically conductive ground reference increases as a radial distance from the first axis along the radiative element increases.
