1. A system for assisting in positioning, with respect to a target position, an antenna of a beacon for being in radio signal communication link with a transceiver device, said system comprising:
representation means for representing at least one lobe of a radiation pattern of the antenna of the beacon on a projection surface of an environment in which said beacon is for being installed, said representation means generating a graphic representation of a shape substantially corresponding to a projection of the lobe onto the projection surface, and
measurement means for measuring a distance separating the beacon and at least one point on the projection surface corresponding to the target position.
