1. A system, comprising:
an antenna device that includes:
a plurality of passive patch antennas on a planar substrate, wherein
the plurality of passive patch antennas defines a signal capture area on the planar substrate, and
the plurality of passive patch antennas is configured to protrude from the planar substrate at different protrusion heights to enable increased signal reception at different angles at different three-dimensional (3D) positions; and
a movable frame configured to support the planar substrate; and
a processor configured to:
control, based on an instruction from a customer premise equipment (CPE) over an out-of-band control link, a movement of the movable frame to align the plurality of passive patch antennas in a first (3D) position coordinate at a first time-of-day such that a radio frequency (RF) signal receptivity by one or more passive patch antennas of the plurality of passive patch antennas in the signal capture area is increased from a first signal state to a second signal state at a specific location of the antenna device; and
control update of the movement of the movable frame to align the plurality of passive patch antennas in a second 3D position coordinate at a second time-of-day such that the RF signal receptivity by the one or more passive patch antennas is increased from the second signal state to a third signal state at the specific location of the antenna device, wherein the first 3D position coordinate is different from the second 3D position coordinate.
