Abstract

A complete autonomous system consisting of a beam steerable Hemispherical Square Loop Antenna (HSLA) controlled by a Raspberry Pi is presented for optimizing the throughput in a scattered and a poor Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) environment. A total of four different indoor communication configuration...
