Abstract: An imaging system for accurately determining a pointing direction of a directional antenna, which comprises a digital camera for capturing an elevation-view image of surroundings of a rotatable directional antenna, where the camera is suitably connected to the antenna such that the field of view of the camera is parallel to a primary transmission direction of the antenna; a processing unit for receiving and processing image data generated by the camera; and an input device for selecting a landmark that is visible in the captured image. The processing unit is operable to determine a true azimuth of the selected landmark, sufficiently process the image data so as to output therefrom an angle in plan view from the antenna to the landmark, and to combine the output angle to the true azimuth of the selected landmark to determine a pointing direction of the antenna.

Abstract: A system for accurately directing a directional antenna, that includes a calibration system for finding the current azimuth of the antenna and a rotation sensor attached to the antenna, for measuring deviations from the current azimuth of the antenna.
