ABSTRACT:
A system and method of aligning an antenna with a predetermined azimuth direction. The method includes determining an antenna azimuth direction and moving the antenna from the antenna azimuth direction towards a predetermined azimuth direction so as to align said antenna. This is accomplished in response to processed positioning data received by a global positioning system (GPS) receiver dish from a GPS system where the receiver dish is locatable at predetermined first and second positions away from the antenna. The system includes at least two reference targets affixed to the antenna, a reference tool operatively coupled to the targets, and a GPS receiver dish connected to the reference tool. The receiver dish is in communication with a GPS system for processing positioning data received therefrom to determine an antenna azimuth direction of the antenna and thereby enable alignment of said antenna by moving the antenna with a predetermined azimuth direction.
