ABSTRACT:
A tracker mount assembly for securing, aiming and controlling microwave satellite dish antennas. The tracker mount assembly preferably includes a rigid, central rectangular frame adapted to be disposed over a supporting surface by an elevating stanchion. The carriage-like frame includes a pair of adjustable, frame wings which are pivotally coupled to the frame sides and ultimately support the receiving antenna. These wings may be adjusted relative to the sides of the frame upon which they are secured to selectively vary declination. An elongated, rigid central frame member is pivotally journaled between the frame front and rear. Frame elevation is adjusted by variations between the angular orientation of the central frame member and its lower support structure. A spur gear rigidly secured to the latter central frame member is meshed with a frame-mounted, motorized worm gear assembly so as to vary azimuth of the antenna by forcing the frame carriage (and thus the wings) to pivot relative to the central frame member. A motor control circuit includes limit control means comprising mercury switches for controlling maximum azimuthal frame travel. Electronic tracking of azimuthal position is facilitated by a direct drive potentiometer axially coupled to the journaled central frame member, and electrically connected to the circuit means.
