Abstract:
A trainable transceiver for controlling a device includes an antenna array, at least one location sensor or connection to a location sensor, and a control circuit. The antenna array includes at least two antennas and is configured to direct a transmission. The control circuit is coupled to the antenna array and the at least one location sensor. The control circuit is configured to control the antenna array to direct the transmission along an antenna heading corresponding to a communication path between the trainable transceiver and the device, and wherein the control circuit is configured to determine the communication path based on (A) a location of the trainable transceiver determined by the control circuit based on information from the at least one location sensor and (B) a location of the device determined by the control circuit.
