Geometry of an antenna positioner for geostationary satellites
Abstract
The design for a modified equatorial mounting that lends itself to operation with any geostationary satellite is shown. The design incorporates two rotational axes. Imprecision in satellite orbit is compensated for by minor adjustments in the angle of declination.
