Step 1

While viewing the spectrum analyzer screen, a pure noise signal as shown in Figure 1 will probably be observed. Additionally, some transponder signals may be observed above the noise signal as shown in Figure 2.

The following steps provide the procedure for acquiring a satellite.

Manually move the antenna in the azimuth (scanning back-and-forth) to achieve the maximum (greatest amplitude) transponder signals.

•Scan in one direction until the amplitude continues to diminish and then scan in the opposite direction until the same condition occurs.

•Return to the position yielding the greatest amplitude.
