Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems are provided for positioning passive reflectors, such a lens/mirror assemblies, and other types of reflectors that need to be pointed in a particular direction. The systems can effectuate control of both the elevation and azimuth angles of the reflector. The systems can be configured so that a mount can rotate so as to vary the azimuth angle of the reflector by 360° or more without a need to reverse the direction of rotation of the reflector, and without the use of slip rings, RF rotary joints, or electrical cable wraps.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A system, comprising: a feed; a reflector; a base; a mount mounted on the base for rotation about a first axis in relation to the base and being capable of supporting the reflector so that the reflector can rotate about a second axis in relation to the mount; and a linkage comprising at least one rigid arm, wherein: the linkage is operable to rotate with the mount about the first axis; the linkage having a first end mechanically coupled to the reflector so…
