GLOSSARY:
Pointing:
finding the correct position of the antenna towards the Eutelsat 36C satellite in the
sky in order to receive broadband signals
Line of sight:
direction of the antenna to the satellite
Elevation:
vertical angle between the pointing direction towards the satellite and the local
horizontal plane
Azimuth:
horizontal angle measured in the local horizontal plane in a clockwise direction from
north. it refers to the rotation of the whole antenna to the vertical axis of the pole
Skew:
rotation angle of the reflector around its center
Polarization:
the way a radio electric frequency propagates. Eutelsat 36C uses circular
polarisation where electromagnetic waves rotate around the propagation direction either right
(RHCP) or left (LHCP)
Transceiver:
2W Unit at the end of the antenna that converts the signal frequency between the
satellite signal and the modem. Modem and transceiver are connected with 2 coaxial cables
