Assignee:

Troll Systems Corporation - Valencia CA

International Classification:

H01Q 3/08

US Classification:

342359

Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a communication system. Particularly disclosed are systems and methods for locating and tracking radio frequency signals and for automatically positioning an antenna to receive a desired radio frequency signal. The system may comprise an antenna module comprising a receive antenna and a plurality of tracking antennas, a base, one or more motors configured to rotate the antenna module and/or tilt the receive antenna relative to the base, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may include a spectrum analyzer and may be configured to receive inputs from the tracking antennas and provide outputs to control the motors. The method may comprise selecting a center frequency for signal reception, receiving a signal at or near the center frequency at a plurality of tracking antennas, detecting the strength of the signal at the tracking antennas, determining whether the strength of the signal is equal at each of the tracking antennas, moving the plurality of tracking antennas and the receive antenna if the strength of the signal is not equal at the tracking antennas, and repeating the steps of detecting, determining, and moving until the strength of the signal at the tracking antennas is equal.
