Abstract
An antenna positioner includes a housing and a hub mounted within the housing. A substantially planar configured support plate is rotatably mounted on the hub. A substantially elongate antenna is pivotally mounted on the support plate. An elevation drive mechanism is mounted on the support plate and interconnects the antenna for pivoting the antenna a predetermined angle and adjusting elevation of the antenna. An azimuth drive mechanism is mounted on the support plate and interconnects the hub and rotates the support plate relative to the hub a predetermined arcuate distance relative to the hub and adjusts azimuth of the antenna. A controller is operatively connected to the elevation drive mechanism and the azimuth drive mechanism and controls the azimuth and elevation drive mechanisms to adjust elevation and azimuth.
