  2. 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.

  3. DirecTV fixes satellite problem that was causing outages for ...

    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.

  4. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    Even with these restrictions, if the polar angle (inclination) is 0° or 180°—elevation is −90° or +90°—then the azimuth angle is arbitrary; and if r is zero, both azimuth and polar angles are arbitrary. To define the coordinates as unique, the user can assert the convention that (in these cases) the arbitrary coordinates are set to zero.

  5. Direction finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_finding

    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 ...

    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 ]

  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. Phase-comparison monopulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-Comparison_Monopulse

    This deviation angle, which can be positive or negative, is added to the beam pointing angle to arrive at the more accurate estimate of the actual target bearing angle. Of course, if the array is 2-dimensional, such as a planar array, there are two del channels, one for elevation and one for azimuth, and therefore two monopulse ratios are formed.

  9. Antenna boresight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_boresight

    In telecommunications and radar engineering, the antenna boresight is the axis of maximum gain (maximum radiated power) of a directional antenna.For most antennas the boresight is the axis of symmetry of the antenna.
