Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010149605A1] The method for helping to steer an antenna consists in using an antenna comprising a plurality of radiating elements distributed over a surface of a radiating panel, and furthermore consists: in a first step, in activating only first radiating elements located in a first central portion of the radiating panel; manually presteering the antenna in elevation and in azimuth, in a direction corresponding to a maximum level for receiving a signal transmitted by a satellite; in a second step, in then activating simultaneously the first radiating elements and at least the second radiating elements located in a second portion of the radiating panel surrounding the first central portion; and manually refining the steering direction of the antenna in elevation and in azimuth. Application to the field of satellite communications, especially for applications using mobile terminals.
