ABSTRACT:
Aspects of a method and system for using a wireless local area network (WLAN) phase shifter for smart antenna beam steering are presented. Aspects of the system may enable determination of an angle of arrival (AOA) for signals received at a receiving station in a wireless network. Based on the AOA value, the receiving station may enable orientation of antenna in a smart antenna system. In a switched beam smart antenna system, antenna element(s) may be selected, which are most closely oriented toward the AOA. In an adaptive array smart antenna system, antenna beam may be steered, or reoriented, based on the AOA.
