Abstract

This article will discuss the proposal of antenna positioner (geosynchronous satellite) design to be used in moving vehicle. Geosynchronous satellite is widely used for communication and broadcasting due to its prefix position as being viewed from the earth. Most of the geosynchronous reception antenna point to a particular position. Having the antenna mounted on moving vehicles will require the system to adopt a flexible positioner. The positioner must be able to move the antenna to the required position precisely and accurately. The system will require a broad study on the architecture and its control system. This paper presents the proposal of the antenna system.
