  • Polarization phase device and a feed assembly using the same in the antenna system
    Patent number: 8723747
    Abstract: The present invention is a satellite antenna system having a motor driven mechanism configured to rotate a feed assembly. The feed assembly includes at least one inner feed tube and at least one outer feed tube. The satellite antenna system also includes an alignment driver coupled to the feed assembly and configured to instruct the motor driven mechanism to place the feed assembly at a pre-determined alignment position. The satellite antenna system further includes a polarization phase device positioned in one of the inner feed tube and the outer feed tube. The motor driven mechanism is further configured to rotate the polarization phase device.
