  • Non-TLE-based pointing acquisition of inclined-geostationary satellite
    Patent number: 10830900
    Abstract: A method for pointing an antenna at an inclined geostationary satellite includes obtaining an analemma of the inclined geostationary satellite, and determining a plurality of points that are to be searched, wherein determining the plurality of points comprises selecting points that follow a centerline of the analemma. One point of the plurality of points is selected and the antenna is pointed at the selected point. While the antenna is pointing at the selected point, the inclined geostationary satellite is queried an RF power level of a response to the query received from the inclined geostationary satellite is recorded. Another point of the plurality of points and the query/recording step is repeated for each of the plurality of points. A determination is made regarding which point of the plurality of points produced a response to the query having the highest power level. The antenna then is pointed at the point having the highest power level.

  • Narrowband RSSI technique(s) for the mitigation of adjacent satellite interference
    Patent number: 9479207
    Abstract: A device and method for tracking a signal of interest from a signal transmitting device, in the presence of cross-polarization or adjacent emitter interference, is provided. An antenna, which may have a beamwidth greater than an angular spacing of geo-stationary transmitting device, is used to receive the signal of interest from a transmitting device. The received signal of interest is analyzed to determine a frequency characteristic of the received signal of interest, and a filter of a plurality of filters is selected based on the determined bandwidth of the signal of interest. The selected filter is applied to the received signal of interest.
