  • Method for dynamically determining the horizontal motion and twist of a microwave tower
    Patent number: 4334775
    Abstract: A plurality of retroreflector devices (22-23) are fixedly mounted in spaced relation on a microwave tower (10) are raster scanned with a laser beam (46). The direction of the beam (46) is monitored as it impinges on each device to determine the position of each device. The twist and sway of the tower is then determined using the positional information of the devices.
