Patent ID: 7379707

Claim:
A mobile in-motion terminal system for concurrently communicating by at least one antenna with (1) one satellite disposed at a geostationary orbital location and providing both TV broadcast and two-way data communications and/or (2) at least two satellites located at substantially the same geo-stationary orbital position, with one satellite providing TV broadcast and another satellite providing two-way data communications, said terminal system comprising: a transmit/receive system coupled to said antenna and comprising a transmitter and receiver operative to provide two-way type data communication using a first frequency band with said one satellite, a receive system coupled to said antenna and comprising a receiver operative to receive TV signals from said same or other satellite, a phase controlling and combining block operative to provide phasing and summation of the signals coming from a plurality of antenna array outputs, and a polarization control block operative to control and adjust a polarization tilt offset for linearly polarized signals reception.
