摘要： An antenna control system is connected to an antenna (10) in order to control the position of the antenna. The system includes a motor (20) connected to the antenna for adjusting the position or vertical tilt angle of the antenna. A driver is provided for operating the motor. A sensor (30) is also provided to detect the position of the antenna. In addition, an antenna controller (40) is connected to an antenna memory, the driver, and the sensor, for reading the detected position of the antenna and for controlling the driver to adjust the antenna's position. A main controller (50) is connected to the antenna controller for sending commands to and reading data from the antenna controller. In this manner, the main controller can interface with any number of antennas at a base station and control the position or down-tilt of each antenna. According to one embodiment of the control system, a user interface (60) is also provided for entering commands to and reading data from the main controller. The interface can be provided at the base station or tower or at a remote location via, for example, modem. According to one embodiment of the invention the user interface is a laptop computer. A user or technician can then enter commands and monitor the position of the antennas from a remote location.
