Patent ID: 8849288

Claim:
A method comprising: positioning a first antenna to a first selected position to receive a first signal from a second antenna, the second antenna comprising a second antenna energy absorbing material that functions to expand a beamwidth of the second antenna; detecting a first plurality of gains based on the first signal, each gain of the first plurality of gains being associated with a first different position of the first antenna relative to the second antenna; repositioning the first antenna relative to the second antenna to a second selected position associated with a first acceptable gain of the first plurality of gains based on the first signal; removing at least some of the second antenna energy absorbing material from the second antenna to narrow the beamwidth of the second antenna; detecting a second plurality of gains based on a second signal from the second antenna, each gain of the second plurality of gains associated with a second different position of the first antenna relative to the second antenna; and repositioning the first antenna relative to the second antenna to a third selected position associated with a first increased gain of the second plurality of gains based on the second signal, the first increased gain being greater than the first acceptable gain of the first plurality of gains based on the first signal.
