Systems for positioning reflectors, such as passive reflectors

摘要

Systems (100) are provided for positioning passive reflectors, such a lens/mirror assemblies (10), and other types of reflectors that need to be pointed in a particular direction. The systems can effectuate control of both the elevation ("X") and azimuth ("Z") 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.
