Patent ID: 11502404

Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting, by a monitoring system associated with a communication system, signals received at an array of orthogonally-polarized radiating elements of an antenna, causing, via a motorized drive assembly, the array of orthogonally-polarized radiating elements to sequentially rotate to a plurality of positions, obtaining, by a control system from the monitoring system and for each of the plurality of positions, data relating to signals from the array of orthogonally-polarized radiating elements, based on the data, determining, by the control system, an optimal position of the plurality of positions for the array of orthogonally-polarized radiating elements at which an impact of passive intermodulation (PIM) on the communications system is minimized, and controlling, by the control system, the motorized drive assembly to cause the array of orthogonally-polarized radiating elements to occupy the optimal position. Other embodiments are disclosed.
