METHOD OF RETRANSMITTER TRANSMITTING ANTENNA POINTING Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC H04B7/15 

FIELD: communication systems.

SUBSTANCE: method of pointing transmitting antenna of retransmitter to abonent station is suggested, in which data input in retransmitter computer device for pointing of receiving and transmitting antennas is carried out, as well as switching of retransmitter after its installation in seat, pointing of receiving antenna of retransmitter to signal source, at that, during pointing receiving antenna is turned according to azimuth and tilt angle until signal is caught, and then accurate pointing of receiving antenna is carried out according to azimuth and tilt angle is carried out with application of preset pointing and mode of automatic tracking with correction by received signal, and also preset pointing of retransmitter transmitting antenna is carried out to abonent station for calculated azimuth and tilt angle. In computer device simultaneously with data for pointing of receiving and transmitting antennas of retransmitter, parameters of system are input, which includes retransmitter, abonent station and technological source of signal, in accordance with which correction data for azimuth and tilt angle of abonent station are found, which account distances between receiving and transmitting antennas of retransmitter, and also between abonent station and technological source of signal. Prior to connection of retransmitter, technological source of signal is installed into the place that has been previously defined next to abonent station, its optical axis is adjusted in direction to retransmitter, and it is switched on in radiation mode. Prior to pointing of receiving antenna to signal source, it is turned as preset to technological source of signal by azimuth and tilt angle, search modes and modes of accurate pointing to technological signal source are serially implemented. After that in specified mode of receiving antenna accurate pointing azimuth and tilt angle of technological signal source are specified. Angles that were found in mode of receiving antenna accurate pointing are input into computer device and used for correction of preset azimuth and tilt angle of abonent station. Found angles are added to correction data of azimuth and tilt angle of abonent station, which were calculated in computer device. Besides, specified azimuth of technological signal source is used for location of preset azimuth of signal source. After that receiving antenna is pointed to signal source. Then preset pointing of transmitting antenna at abonent station is carried out in accordance with corrected azimuth and tilt angle. After receiving antenna is input into mode of accurate pointing at signal source and transmitting antenna is switched in mode of preset pointing at abonent station, technological source of signal is switched off and dismantled.

EFFECT: increase of accuracy of retransmitter transmitting antenna pointing at abonent station and simplification of retransmitter and its operation.
