ABSTRACT:
A surface floating buoy has an antenna attached to a linkage system which pivots about the floating buoy. The linkage system is attached to a counterweight such that the antenna is maintained at a desired vertical position with respect to the surface of a body of water by pantographic action. The floating buoy contains a hollow cavity of sufficient size to hold the linkage system antenna and counterweight prior to deployment in a body of water. Upon deployment in the water, gravitational forces on the counterweight and linkage system cause the system to be deployed. The invention may also include a servo feedback system for more accurately positioning the antenna at its desired position.
