1. An antenna device, comprising:
a plurality of passive patch antennas distributed on a planar substrate defining a signal capture area;
a movable frame that supports the planar substrate on which the plurality of passive patch antennas are distributed; and
a controller configured to:
establish an out-of-band control link with a customer premise equipment (CPE); and
control, based on an instruction received from the CPE over the out-of-band control link, a movement of the movable frame to align the plurality of passive patch antennas in a specific three-dimensional (3D) position coordinate at a given 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 first location of the antenna device, wherein the plurality of passive patch antennas are configured to have different sizes and protrude from the planar substrate at different protrusion heights to allow increased signal reception and diversity of RF signal capture at different angles at different 3D positions.
