Abstract:
A method for aligning an earth station antenna with a satellite antenna includes sending an uplink signal from the earth station antenna to the satellite antenna; measuring at least a strength of the uplink signal received by the satellite antenna; sending by telemetry the measured signal strength to a telemetry station; adjusting the orientation of the earth station antenna in order to maximize the measured signal strength.
