A dish mount that permits all satellites in the geosynchronous arc to be scanned with movement of only one axis.
A mechanical support structure for an earth station antenna that permits all satellites in the geosynchronous arc to be scanned with movement of only one axis.
Antenna mechanism permitting steering in both elevation and azimuth through rotation about a single axis. While an astronomer's polar mount has its axis parallel to that of the earth, satellite earth stations utilize a modified polar mount geometry that incorporates a declination offset.
A type of satellite antenna mount with three basic adjustments, azimuth, polar axis, and declination offset. It tracks multiple satellites better than the AZ/EL type of mount.
Antenna mechanism permitting steering along the geostationary Arc (Clarke Orbit) by rotation about a single axis. Also Equatorial Mount. A classical polar mount has its axis parallel to that of the Earth. Satellite receiving antennas use modified polar mount geometry, incorporating a declination offset.
A polar mount is a piece of equipment installed into geostationary satellites to be accessed by swinging the satellite dish around one axis (the main axis). This allows one positioner only to be used to remotely point the antenna at any satellite.
