摘要:
A dual reflector earth station antenna (ESA) system for transmitting uplink in a first frequency band and receiving downlink in a second frequency band, the ESA system comprises a reflector; a reflector tracking assembly coupled to the reflector and configured to control the direction of the reflector; a feed horn coupled to the reflector and optimized for a near-constant phase center for both the first frequency band and the second frequency band; a subreflector tracking assembly including a subreflector, configured for tracking in the X, Y and Z-axes and supported proximate a focal point of the reflector; and a control system in communication with the subreflector tracking assembly and comprising at least one processor. The processor is configured to adjust the subreflector of the subreflector tracking assembly along X, Y and Z axes of the reflector until a signal gain of the reflector antenna is maximized for the second frequency band; and wherein a signal gain of the reflector antenna is also simultaneously maximized for the first frequency band due to the optimization of the feed horn for a near-constant phase center for both the first frequency band and the second frequency band.
