<p>In a satellite tracking control system, a receiver derirves a pair of elevation (EL) and cross-elevation (XEL) tracking error signals having a quadratic relationship in a coordinate system from a signal received from a polar-orbital satellite. Elevation and cross-elevation motors are respectively controlled in response to the elevation (EL) and cross-elevation (XEL) tracking error signals. An azimuth controller derives an azimuth control signal from angle data representing the angles of the antenna about the azimuth, elevation and cross-elevation axes detected by angle detectors. Preferably, the antenna is rotatable about the elevation (EL) axis in the range between zero and l80 degrees.</p> |
