METHOD OF ADJUSTMENT OF OPTICAL AXIS OF VIEWFINDER AND ELECTRICAL AXIS OF AERIAL Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: radiolocation.

SUBSTANCE: viewfinder is disposed at specific distance from mechanical axis of aerial. Viewfinder is tightly connected with antenna aperture plane. Optical axis of viewfinder is directed in parallel to mechanical axis of aerial. Then electrical axis of aerial is guided to phase center of ancillary aerial which is disposed together with geodetic mark onto post. Optical axis of viewfinder is guided onto geodetic mark. Geodetic mark is tied to angular position detectors and stays apart from phase center of ancillary aerial for distance being equal to shift of viewfinder from mechanical axis of aerial to the plane of normal optical axis of viewfinder. Optical axis of viewfinder is guided onto center of aperture of ancillary aerial. Difference in coordinates is determined by angle of location of initial and final position of viewfinder optical axis. Sword is turned around axis being perpendicular to plane of sword and crossing center of ancillary aerial aperture by angle determined by the relation given in the description of the invention. Electrical axis of aerial is guided onto phase center of ancillary aerial and optical axis of viewfinder is guided onto geodetic mark.

EFFECT: improved precision of adjustment.
