  • Patent number: 9007276
    Abstract: A pointing device for real-time pointing the dish of a dish antenna (1), in particular a marine dish antenna, to be housed within a radome (21). The antenna comprises a dish (3) and a dish position adjusting means that achieves adjusting motions about an azimuth axis (6), an elevation axis (7) and a skew axis (8), the axes (6,7,8) having a minimum distance from a reference point (12), preferably the centre point (13) of a domed portion (22) of radome (21), wherein the reference point (12) is located closer to the front side (14) of the dish than to the rear side (15) of it, and wherein the dish position adjusting means comprises a driving actuating portion (27) integral to the support (2) and a driven actuating portion (28) integral to the dish (3) are provided which cooperate with each other to actuate the rotation about the skew axis (8), the driven actuating portion (28) extending within the profile of the dish (3).

  • Publication number: 20140250469
    Abstract: An apparatus (200) for providing an access on a vehicle (10) to a first and to a second geostationary satellites, which are available through respective satellite signals that can be used by means of respective first and second peripheral devices (33a,33b), said apparatus (200) comprising: a first and a second directional orientable antennas (20a,20b) that are configured to receive said transmitted signals returning respective received signals (21a,21b); a first and a second distribution and/or collection systems (24a,24b) of said received signals (21a,21b), said first and said second distribution and/or collection systems (24a,24b) configured to transform a first and a second received signals (23a,23b) selected between said received signals (21a,21b) into respective distributed signals (32a,32b) intelligible respectively from said first and by said second peripheral device (33a,33b); a first and a second control unit (29a,29b) configured to receive respective first and second reference signals (27a,27b) sele

  • Patent number: 7362279
    Abstract: A device for receiving satellite signals, associated to a parabolic dish (2) suitable for reflecting to a corresponding focus a first signal (25) at a first frequency and a second signal (35) at a second frequency. The device comprises a first feed (7,8) arranged near the focus suitable for transducing the first signal and transmitting it to a first receiver (9), a second feed (40,40a,40b) arranged hear the focus suitable for transducing the second signal (35,35a,35b) and transmitting it to a second receiver. The first frequency is dedicated to TV channels and the second frequency is at a band different from the first frequency and is dedicated to internet transmissions. The feeds can be of double reflection type, comprising a reflecting plate (7) that directs signals already reflected from the parabolic dish (2) towards a tubular wave guide (8) co-axial to the parabolic dish as well as towards a dipole (40) that constitutes the second feed.
