WiFi direction finding.

[Jeeves Moseley]

I've got a idea.  I've got the hardware stuff down to a fine art, but I have no idea on how to do the software.  if you use 3 cell phone antennas formed in a triangle and took the signal strength from all 3, you'd be able to use that information to effectively find the incoming direction of the WiFi signal.  if you wanted to take it a step further, then you could make the transitions transmit in phase and extend the distance of the system with out boosting the power.  Adversely you could also use the third antenna to create a virtual ground plane behind the two receiving antennas to boost their receiving power.  If you know of any talented Windows programmers who are interested in trying this, please let me know.  I'm willing to do the hardware mods, etc, but as I said, I have no idea on the software.  Thanks again.
