  • Patent number: 9093737
    Abstract: An assembly includes a self-contained, adjustable shrouding for a MIMO or SISO, or combination thereof, retransmission system enclosure. The enclosure ensures proper coverage areas of small to large facilities. The proper coverage is achieved through cake layer pie designs that previously often resulted in capacity and sector overlay issues. The antenna enclosure has a directional nature that allows for dividing stadiums, arenas, tracks, (or other large groups) into manageable smaller coverage areas through controlled directional zoning.

  • Patent number: 9093754
    Abstract: An antenna includes a radiator and a reflector and has a radiation pattern that is based at least in part on a separation distance between the radiator and the reflector. The antenna includes a linkage configured to adjust the separation distance based at least in part on the altitude of the antenna. The resulting radiation pattern can be dynamically adjusted based on altitude of the antenna such that, while the antenna is aloft and the antenna is ground-facing, variations in geographic boundaries and intensity of the radiation received at ground level are at least partially compensated for by the dynamic adjustments to the radiation pattern.
