Abstract
Methods, systems and devices are disclosed for positioning an antenna having a sub-reflector assembly. A conical scan processor receives a period for a reference time pulse and a time tag. The processor calculates a rotation angle of the sub-reflector assembly using the received period for the reference time pulse and the received time tag. The processor may also receive a power measurement associated with the time tag. The processor may calculate and then output antenna boresight errors based on the calculated rotation angle of the sub-reflector assembly and the power measurements associated with the time tag.
