  2. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The azimuth (or azimuthal angle) is the signed angle measured from the azimuth reference direction to the orthogonal projection of the radial line segment OP on the reference plane. The sign of the azimuth is determined by designating the rotation that is the positive sense of turning about the zenith. This choice is arbitrary, and is part of ...

  3. Direction finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Direction_Finder

    The DF receiver enjoys a detection range advantage [35] over that of the radar receiver. This is because the signal strength at the DF receiver, due to a radar transmission, is proportional to 1/R 2 whereas that at the radar receiver from the reflected return is proportional to σ/R 4 , where R is the range and σ is the radar cross-section of ...

  4. Antenna rotator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_rotator

    In the center of the reference picture, the accompanying image includes an AzEl installation rotator, so named for its controlling of both the azimuth and the elevation components of the direction of an antenna system or array. Such antenna configurations are used in, for example, amateur radio satellite or moon-bounce communications.

    The DirecTV snafu comes on the heels of an outage for AT&T mobile customers last week affecting more than 70,000 users and resulting in the company offering $5 refunds to affected customers.

  6. Bearing (navigation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(navigation)

    In satellite broadcasting, a bearing is the combination of antenna azimuth and elevation required to point (aim) a satellite dish antenna in a given direction. The bearing for geostationary satellites is constant. The bearing for polar-orbiting satellites varies continuously.

  7. Angle of arrival - Wikipedia

    The aim is either for the cell system to report the location of a cell phone placing an emergency call or to provide a service to tell the user of the cell phone where they are. Multiple receivers on a base station would calculate the AoA of the cell phone's signal, and this information would be combined to determine the phone's location.

  8. DirecTV satellite fleet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirecTV_satellite_fleet

    DirecTV-1R was launched on October 9, 1999, aboard a Sea Launch Zenit-3SL launch vehicle. It was the first satellite used to broadcast local channels for DirecTV in major DMAs , and was positioned at 101.2° W when it first entered service. [ 29 ]

  9. Azimuth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth

    The azimuth is the angle formed between a reference direction (in this example north) and a line from the observer to a point of interest projected on the same plane as the reference direction orthogonal to the zenith. An azimuth (/ ˈ æ z ə m ə θ / ⓘ; from Arabic: اَلسُّمُوت, romanized: as-sumūt, lit.
