Self-installation of phased array antenna using augmented reality

An augmented reality system for visualization of an electronically steerable antenna, the system comprising:

• an augmented reality device comprising:
• a positioning module operative to determine a location of the augmented reality device relative to Earth,
• an orientation module operative to resolve an orientation of the augmented reality device relative to Earth,
• a sensor operative to capture sensor data in a field of view of the sensor, and
• an augmented reality display observable by a user;
• and
• an analysis module operative to identify an electronically steerable antenna from the sensor data and ascertain an antenna location and an antenna orientation of the electronically steerable antenna based on the sensor data, wherein the antenna location and the antenna orientation are provided relative to the field of view of the sensor of the augmented reality device;
• wherein the augmented reality device visually represents at least one characteristic of the electronically steerable antenna in the augmented reality display of the augmented reality device based on the ascertained antenna location and the antenna orientation.
