Integrated ODU controller for antenna pointing |
| 摘要 |
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. |

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 reflector in azimuth to maximize reception of the signal from the orbital slot; commanding the SWM to output a second signal from a second satellite at a second orbital slot; and adjusting the reflector in a tilt direction to maximize reception of the second signal from the second orbital slot. |
