Ov er view Acquiring A Satellite 39 Operation After you have completed the assembly of your antenna, you are now ready to become operational. In order to operate the earth station antenna, you will need to direct it to the desired satellite adjusting both the elevation and azimuth angles appropriately .
Ste p 1 Ste p 2 Ste p 3 Ste p 4 40 The following steps provide the procedure for acquiring a satellite. Manually move the antenna in the azimuth (scanning back-and-forth) to achieve the maximum (greatest amplitude) transponder signals.
Ste p 5 Ste p 6 Ste p 7 Ste p 8 41 If the signal amplitude diminishes and does not increase (position B) to the level noted when the antenna was peaked on the side lobe, the antenna is moving away from the main beam; reverse the direction of the antenna movement.
Ste p 9 42 With all 24 transponder signals of approximately equal amplitude appearing on the spectrum analyzer screen determine the specific antenna system and satellite parame- ters. Rotate the feed assembly as required until the appropriate (odd or even) transpon- der signals are maximized.
Subreflector Adjustment 43 Operation After the satellite has been acquired and testing has t aken place with the spectrum analyzer , the subreflector may need to be adjusted to maximize optimum performance of your anten- na. The following procedures should be followed if a subreflector adjustment is required to maximize optimum performance.
