METHOD FOR AIMING TRANSMITTING ANTENNA OF REPEATER AT CLIENT STATION Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC H04B7/185 

FIELD: communication systems, possible use for radio relaying of radio-television signals.

SUBSTANCE: in the method for aiming transmitting antenna of repeater at client station, which method includes aiming of receiving antenna of repeater at signal source by its rotation on basis of azimuth and elevation angle until signal capture, and then precise aiming of receiving antenna with usage of program aiming with correction by the signal being received, and also transmitting antenna of repeater is aimed at client station using calculated azimuth and elevation angle, before aiming of receiving antenna at signal source the antenna is turned along azimuth for an angle up to one hundred eighty degrees and for no less than three different azimuth angles, values of repeater error are measured relatively to horizon plane using angle sensor installed on the azimuth axis of receiving antenna. After that receiving antenna is turned along azimuth until signal capture, during that simultaneously in accordance with found parameters elevation angle of receiving antenna is changed, then in the mode of precise aiming of receiving antenna at signal source azimuth is successively increased and decreased by equal angles, both signal values read in these positions are used for more precise detection of signal source position azimuth. Then receiving antenna is turned along azimuth for angle corresponding to client station angle, and then receiving antenna is turned along azimuth for one hundred eighty degrees, in both positions repeater error relatively to horizon plane is measured by means of angle sensor. After that transmitting antenna is aimed at client station using computed azimuth and elevation angle, during azimuth aiming, precise position of signal source is used, and during elevation aiming, precise value of repeater error relatively to horizon plane is used.

EFFECT: increased precision of aiming of transmitting antenna of repeater, prevented usage of additional equipment for aiming the transmitting antenna, simplified operation.
