Patent ID: 8810451

Claim:
A communication antenna automatic orientation apparatus, comprising: a target base station geographical storage for storing corresponding relation between spatial location information of an aircraft on an air lane and an identifier of a target base station, wherein said spatial location information includes: longitude and latitude, and altitude; a sensor for determining current spatial location information of said aircraft; an aircraft spatial orientation sensor for determining a current spatial orientation of the aircraft; a master controller for determining a target direction of a directional antenna according said current spatial location information, said corresponding relation and said current spatial orientation and sending an instruction carrying said target direction; a first automatic antenna orientation system for receiving said instruction and driving a first directional antenna according to said target direction in said instruction so as to enable said first directional antenna to receive a signal from a ground base station in said target direction; a second automatic antenna orientation system for receiving said instruction and driving a second directional antenna according to said target direction in said instruction so as to enable said second directional antenna to receive a signal from a ground base station in said target direction; and a mobile communication terminal for processing the signals received by said first directional antenna and said second directional antenna.
