Abstract

The present invention relates to a communication transmission field, and particularly provides a device, a method, and a system for aligning an antenna. The method includes steps as follows. An input signal is received, and a receiver signal strength indication (RSSI) value is output according to a strength of the input signal. The RSSI value is received, and a practically received power value corresponding to the input signal is acquired by looking up a corresponding table between the RSSI and power. An antenna rotation signal and an alignment indication signal are output. The antenna is adjusted according to the antenna rotation signal so as to change a receiving angle of the antenna. Then, it is displayed that the antenna is aligned according to the alignment indication signal. In the present invention, the man-made operation errors are reduced, thus the network quality is effectively ensured.
