COMMUNICATION ANTENNA AUTOMATIC ORIENTATION APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention discloses a communication antenna automatic orientation apparatus and method, wherein the apparatus comprises: a target base station geographical storage for storing the corresponding relation between the spatial location information on the air lane and the identifier of a target base station; a sensor for confirming current spatial location information of the aircraft; an aircraft spatial orientation sensor for confirming a current spatial orientation of the aircraft; a master controller for confirming a target direction of a directional antenna according to the current spatial location information, the corresponding relation and the current spatial orientation and sending an instruction carrying the target direction; an automatic antenna directional system for receiving the instruction and driving the directional antenna according to the target direction so as to enable the directional antenna to receive a signal from a ground base station in the target direction; a wide aperture antenna for receiving the signal from the ground base station in omni-direction; and a mobile communication terminal for processing the signal received by the wide aperture antenna and the signal received by the directional antenna.
