Patent ID: 7463192

Claim:
A phased array antenna assembly, adapted for reducing severe radiation hazards to the human body, useful for transmitting and receiving signals while taking into account the indoor electromagnetic field strength, said antenna design comprising: a micro-strip small-size antenna; a switching device, having a communicating means with said antenna to select between receiving or transmitting modes, further having a selecting means for phase shift and the receiving/transmitting frequencies; a controller adapted to receive inputs from said switching device comprising: coordinating means, adapted to interconnect said switching device with a algorithm-based software; and memory queue that records the optimal path in each indoor environment to each of the associated nodes to said antenna assembly; and, an ASIC protocol adapted to control said phased array antenna assembly, said ASIC protocol comprising the following steps: scanning with the first beam for the first station; receiving a signal and writing the RSSI; proceeding to the next beam direction; getting a maximum RSSI or received field strength from said station; calculating the station's virtual distance from said antenna and adjusting the power level to the correct one; registering the obtained RSSI and/or level in a memory, wherein said obtained RSSI and/or level is associated with the beam direction and with the station ID; and scanning for a plurality of other stations as required; wherein said assembly is cost effective in the manner it is adapted for a indoor mass-utilization consisting of low cost materials and components, and wherein said assembly radiate a limited electromagnetic field in a minimal measure required for communication, and further wherein said ASIC protocol controls the antenna operation in the manner that the antenna is adapted to fit with any RF protocol.
