Abstract:
A system and method for orienting a communications antenna are disclosed. The method includes: segmenting a receive phase array antenna into N sub-arrays with M-antenna elements in each sub-array; receiving, a known signal, by each of the M-antenna elements of at least four (4) of the N-sub-arrays; scanning in a direction of the known signal by applying a beam weight associated with each of the M elements in each of the at least 4-sub-arrays to obtain M-weighted signals for each of the at least 4-sub-arrays; combining the M-weighted signals for each of the at least 4-sub-arrays into signals A, B, C and D, respectively; generating an azimuth difference signal per a weighted sum of (A+B) and (C+D) and an elevation difference signal per a weighted sum of (A+C) and (B+D); computing the weights of the azimuth difference signal, such that the azimuth difference signals is driven to a zero signal; and computing the weights of the elevation difference signal, such that the elevation difference signal is driven to a zero signal. N is greater than or equal to four (4) and M is greater than or equal to one (1).

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:\n applying N-combined signal weights to each of the N-combined signals, respectively; and simultaneously generating a communications signal transmitted from a direction other than the direction of the known signal, wherein the combined signal weights are based on the direction of the communications signal relative to the direction of the known signal.
