Methods and systems for performing antenna pointing to overcome effects of atmospheric scintillation

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described herein for performing mispointing correction operations that can provide very accurate pointing of an antenna towards a satellite. In particular, mispointing correction operations described herein can reduce or avoid pointing errors due to atmospheric scintillation effects. As a result, the mispointing correction operations described herein can improve resource efficiency of communication systems using such antennas and help ensure compliance with interference requirements of other satellites.
