Abstract:
An antenna system includes a first drive assembly configured to rotate a vertical support assembly relative to a base assembly about a first axis, a second drive assembly configured to pivot a level frame assembly relative to the vertical support assembly about a second axis, and a third drive assembly configured to pivot an elevation frame assembly relative to the level frame assembly about a third axis. The antenna system additionally includes a primary antenna and a secondary antenna affixed relative to the level frame assembly and a control unit configured for: selecting operation of a selected one of the primary and secondary antennas, determining a position of the elevation frame assembly based upon sensed motion about said the first, second, and third axes, and controlling one or more of the first, second, and third drive assemblies to alter the position the selected one of the primary and secondary antennas.
