1. A system comprising:
a radio frequency shielded structure forming an interior volume and having a RF-shielding material forming a layer at least partially surrounding the interior volume;
a rotary stage device having one or more motors and configured to hold and manipulate a user device in three dimensions into two or more positions for each cycle in a plurality of cycles, the rotary stage device located in the interior volume of the radio frequency shielded structure;
an antenna that transmits radio frequencies for receipt, for each cycle in a plurality of cycles, by the user device held by the rotary stage device in the interior volume of the radio frequency shielded structure;
a computing device that receives, for each cycle in a plurality of cycles, signal data electronically output from the user device corresponding to two or more positions, the user device held by the rotary stage device located in the interior volume; and
a microcontroller that receives, for each cycle in the plurality of cycles, algorithm data electronically output from the computing device using the signal data for the corresponding cycle, and that generates instructions for each cycle to cause the one or more motors of the rotary stage device to manipulate the user device in three dimensions toward a particular position that has a greater signal strength relative to a remainder of the two or more positions for the corresponding cycle.
