Abstract
A satellite communication module for a vehicle. The module includes an electronic control unit and at least one antenna capable of communicating with a plurality of satellites that are characterized by a predefined orbital trajectory and the same predefined speed. The at least one antenna being configurable according to a plurality of configurations, each configuration allowing the at least one antenna to radiate in an angular window, each angular window corresponding to an area of the sky that is characterized by a longitudinal coordinate and a transverse coordinate. The control unit includes a memory area. The memory area including a calibration table of the at least one antenna. The control circuit being configured to adapt the radiation of the at least one antenna so that the antenna radiates in the direction of the at least one determined angular window during the corresponding given time interval.
