Embodiment Construction

[0023] The detailed description set forth below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings is intended as a description of various configurations, and is not intended to represent the only configuration that can implement the concepts described herein. In order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various concepts, the detailed description includes specific details. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that these concepts can be realized without these specific details. In some examples, well-known structures and components are shown in the form of block diagrams in order to avoid obscuring these concepts.

[0024] Due to practical and economic reasons, the spectrum that can be used for Internet communications with aircraft by the land-air-to-ground (ATG) system has been restricted. Providing seamless communication with aircraft flying at higher altitudes over a larger area, such as the continental United States, involves the spectrum available over th...

Abstract

A method for real-time calibration of an air to ground two-way communication system. The method includes calibrating a ground base station antenna array according to forward link calibration coefficients received from an aircraft as part of a communication signaling protocol during operation of the air to ground two-way communication system. The method may also includes communicating between the ground base station antenna array and the aircraft over a narrow beam.
