ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for computing a lever arm correction between a wide beam coverage antenna and a steerable spot beam antenna of a navigational satellite is disclosed. A navigation receiver computes the lever arm correction using information from the navigational satellite that allows both the position of the navigational satellite and the navigational receiver to be determined using a known geometry of the steerable spot beam antenna and a prescribed satellite attitude maneuver profile.
