  • Antenna aperture cover for antenna pointing an improved antenna pointing method using aperture cover
    Patent number: 6388614
    Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for pointing a satellite dish to receive signals from a geo-synchronous satellite. An aperture cover is used to partially block electromagnetic radiation provide to a feed horn and power and/or signal quality measurements are taken with the aperture cover covering various portions of the feed horn opening. Based on these power and/or signal quality measurements, it is determined in what direction and what angle in that direction the satellite dish must be re-oriented to achieve optimal signal strength from a geo-synchronous satellite or other fixed position microwave source.
