Patent ID: 7245262

Claim:
An antenna beam controlling system for cellular communication comprising a rotating reflector assembly having: a) an antenna enclosure having a top cover and a bottom cover, b) a top rotating disk revolvingly attached to an inside surface of the top cover via a first disk bearing, c) at least one top hub having a second disk bearing interfacing with a lower surface of the top rotating disk, d) a bottom rotating disk revolvingly attached to an inside surface of the bottom cover, via a third disk bearing, e) at least one bottom hub having a fourth disk bearing interfacing with an upper surface of the bottom rotating disk, f) at least one antenna reflector disposed within said antenna enclosure between said at least one top hub and at least one bottom hub, g) at least one speed reducing gear attached to said bottom hub for rotating the antenna reflector, h) at least one geared motor attached to said bottom rotating disk, said geared motor driving said at least one speed reducing gear, i) a disk gear motor located on said bottom cover, said disk gear motor having an output gear and said bottom rotating disk having a disk drive gear with the output gear interfacing with the disk drive gear such that said at least one antenna reflector rotates in a direction dictated by said geared motor to control the horizontal azimuth angle and the horizontal beam width of said at least one antenna reflector, and j) an electronic controller that controls the activation of said at least one gear motor and said disk gear motor in accordance with externally applied control signals.
