Abstract

A method for adjusting antenna radiation in a wireless network involves varying antenna radiation directions of antennas throughout a defined range. A test receiver measures signal parameters from the antennas at measurement locations as the antenna radiation directions are varied. The processing system determines a resultant antenna radiation direction for each of the antennas in the wireless network, or segment thereof, based upon the measured signal parameters.
