Abstract
A method and system for maintaining an optimized point ahead angle (Θa) between an uplink beam (U) from a first terminal () to a second terminal (), and a downlink beam (D) from the second terminal () to the first terminal (). While transmitting data via a transmission channel (Tx) from the first terminal () to the second terminal (), a directional variation (ΔΘ) is applied to an initial point ahead angle (Θ) for emitting the uplink beam (U,U) along different point ahead angles (Θ). A respective intensity (I,I) is determined of a part of the uplink beam (U,U), received by the second terminal (), emitted by the first terminal () along a respective point ahead angle (Θ). The initial point ahead angle (Θ) is adjusted towards an optimized point ahead angle (Θa) based on the respective intensity (I,I) as function of the different point ahead angles (Θ).
