Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and system for aligning an antenna reflector with satellites in a satellite configuration. A method in accordance with the present invention comprises pointing the reflector to a position along an orbital arc used in the satellite configuration, commanding a Single Wire Multiswitch circuits which is coupled to the reflector of the antenna to output a signal from at least one satellite at the orbital slot, and adjusting the reflector to maximize reception of the signal from the orbital slot.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for aligning a reflector of an antenna with a satellite configuration, comprising: pointing the reflector in an azimuthal direction to a position along an orbital arc used in the satellite configuration; commanding a single wire multiswitch (SWM) which is coupled to the reflector of the antenna to output a signal from at least one satellite at the orbital slot, the signal being selected based on a beam squint of the signal; adjusting the reflect…
