Abstract: A receiver includes an antenna array, an angular positioning module, a low noise amplifier module, and a down conversion module. The antenna array is operable to receive an inbound wireless signal. The angular positioning module is operable to: receive a plurality of received inbound wireless signals from the antenna array. An angular position of a source of the inbound wireless signal is determined from at least some of the plurality of received inbound wireless signals based on a first radiation pattern and a second radiation pattern of the plurality of received inbound wireless signals; and output a representation of the inbound wireless signal. The low noise amplifier module is operably coupled to amplify the representation of the inbound wireless signal to produce an amplified inbound wireless signal. The down conversion module is operably coupled to convert the amplified inbound wireless signal into a baseband or near baseband signal.
