Latest Patents

One of Luis Costa's latest patents is titled "Antenna with low-cost steerable subreflector." This patent discloses methods of antenna pointing and antenna assemblies that implement those methods. An example method includes providing a user terminal antenna assembly that consists of an antenna and an auto-peak device. The antenna features a reflector, a subreflector, and a feed, with the feed oriented relative to the reflector and the subreflector to produce a beam. The antenna also includes a tilt assembly that allows for tilting the subreflector relative to the reflector and the feed. The method involves providing a control signal to tilt the subreflector in multiple positions to move the beam while measuring the corresponding signal strength of a signal communicated via the antenna at each tilt position. Additionally, the method includes selecting a tilt position based on the measured signal strength and providing the control signal to tilt the subreflector to the chosen position.
