ABSTRACT:
Two pairs of dielectric rod radiators are positioned on an antenna, with one pair in the azimuthal and the other in the elevational plane of the antenna radiation pattern. The axes of each pair are physically canted away from the direction of the main antenna beam. The radiation pattern of the dielectric rod elements is an electromagnetic “well” which is symmetrically located with respect to the axis of the main beam of the antenna with the antenna's beam centered in the “well”. In aiming the antenna, for example, at a transmitting communication satellite, the amplitudes of signals received from the two dielectric rod azimuthal lobes are compared, and signals received from the two dielectric rod elevational lobes are similarly compared to provide servo error information for positioning the antenna beam. Signal processing may utilize a single multiplexed narrow band amplifier.
