Abstract
Systems and methods for beam splitting using multiple antennas are disclosed. An example wireless networking device includes an antenna system having a plurality of antennas; and a controller configured to determine directional antenna weight vectors (AWVs) directed substantially towards other wireless networking devices, determine a split beam AWV from the directional AWVs, and configure the antenna sub-system to form multiple wireless communication channels over the determined split beam AWV between the wireless networking devices. A split beam formed by the wireless networking device according to the split beam AWV maximizes a minimum gain towards, or provides at least a preset threshold minimum gain towards, each of the at other wireless networking devices.
