Systems and methods for detecting and reducing signal interference affecting wireless communication with a mobile vehicle includes generating an interference signature based on a correlation multiple signal-quality characteristics of a desired target-signal that is received at an antenna assembly attached to the mobile vehicle, and adjusting the orientation of the antenna assembly based on a change or degradation in the interference signature to thereby improve wireless communication with the vehicle.

An antenna may include a base, a gimbal mount coupled to the base, and a first guide body coupled to the base and having a first guide slot. The antenna may include a second guide body rotatably coupled with respect to the base and having a second guide slot defining a steerable intersection position with respect to the first guide slot. The antenna may also have an antenna member coupled to the gimbal mount and extending through the steerable intersection position, and an actuator configured to selectively rotate the second guide body to steer the antenna member.

A telecommunications network comprises multiple nodes linked by line-of-sight (LOS) signals. Directional antennas are located outside concealment screens to avoid attenuation through multiple screening layers. Directional LOS aiming between nodes is accomplished by fully rotable radomes within which multiple antennas are contained or by rotation of gimbaled antennas within the radomes. Network architecture is configured for both azimuthal and elevational LOS antenna aiming, with redundancy to re-route around disabled nodes.

An electronic device such as a wristwatch device may have a housing with metal sidewalls and a display module having conductive display structures. The conductive display structures may be separated from the sidewalls by a slot element for a first antenna that runs around the display module. A feed element for the first antenna may be coupled between the display structures and the sidewalls. An antenna resonating element for a second antenna may be disposed within the slot element. A printed circuit may include additional antenna elements for the second antenna. The antenna resonating element may extend away from the feed element for the first antenna to provide improved isolation between the two antennas. The first antenna may be operable to provide coverage for frequencies that are lower than frequencies for which the second antenna may be operable to provide coverage.

Steerable antenna on platforms, fixed or mobile, are tracked to form an RF communication link by setting the width of the main lobe of the antenna beam pattern to be greater than the initial pointing uncertainty region and then concurrently scanning and progressively reducing the widths of the main lobes as the pointing uncertainty region is reduced to first acquire and then track the opposing antenna. The width of the main lobe is reduced such that the width of the main lobe is approximately fixed for each block. The antennas at opposite ends of the communication link may be scanned with scan patterns that are orthogonal to each other such that the demodulation of the received signal levels to signal direction of arrival at each platform is solely a function of the scan pattern of the receive antenna.
