Claim 0:
1. A method for controlling communication of a plurality of phased array antennas, each of the phased array antennas having a receive panel and an associated transmit panel, comprising:
receiving an indication of communication to be established with a current satellite;
using ephemeris data of the satellite, directing each of the receive panels towards the current satellite;
for each of the receive panels, determining whether parameters of a receive signal from the current satellite exceeds a preset threshold;
grouping all receive panels having the parameters of the receive signal exceeding a preset threshold to form a receive group;
from the receive group determining which receive panel has the highest scored parameter of the receive signal; and,
selecting the associated transmit panel of the receive panel having the highest scored parameter and directing transmission through the selected associated transmit panel.
