METHOD OF POSITIONING RADIO RELAY STATION ANTENNAE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC H01Q3/18 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: in the method of positioning radio relay station antennae, location and height are determined first for each antenna using the GLONASS satellite navigation system and the value of magnetic declination, and then using a compass, the magnetic azimuth L1 of the initial position of the antenna is determined, said magnetic azimuth coinciding with the magnetic azimuth of the axis of the vehicle (N - true north direction, L2 - current direction of the optical axis of the antenna) and the value of the absolute azimuth α1 of the initial position of the antenna is calculated. By solving the inverse geodetic problem, the value of the absolute azimuth of the antenna α3 to the target is calculated and the turning angle α2 of the antenna in the horizontal plane, which is equal to the sum of the absolute azimuth α1 of the initial position of the antenna and the absolute azimuth α3 o the antenna to the target, is calculated. The antenna is aligned in the vertical plane by calculating the angle of elevation.

EFFECT: high accuracy of positioning radio relay station antennae via alignment in the horizontal plane.
