(*)
SATELLITE ORBITAL POSITION:
Values between 270-360 is converted to 270-360 East Atlantic Ocean Region. 359 East AOR gives the same result as 1 West. Hit the "Calculate antenna angles" button do do angle calculations when you manually input the satellite position.

(**)
SATELLITE NAME:
Choose satellite name and the angle calculations will be done.

(***)
OFFSET ANTENNAS
Offset angle on a offset antenna. Not the same value for all offset antennas . Can be changed before angle calculations !

(****)
AZIMUTH &POLARMOUNT X ANGLE :
180 degrees=south. 360(0) degrees= north. 270 degrees = West , 90 degrees East

The polarmount X-angle is 180 deg. when the site longitude and satellite longitude is equal in nothern hemisphere. The X-angle is 360 (or 0...) deg. at the same conditions in the southern hemisphere.

(*****)
POLARITY ANGLE (TILT):
Looking from behind of the antenna towards south. The turning direction is not equal on all systems. Negtive values is just used to show the turning direction.

A satellite on the same longitude as the receiving/transmitting station will have 0 degrees as horisontal polarisation. Vertical polarisation on 90 degrees clockwise( -90 degrees Counter Clockwise)

On the France Telecom Satellites there is a polarisation offset of 20 degrees from the calculated ones.

(******)
DECLINATION ANGLE:
For polarmounts.

 

Some formulars:

Polaraxsis angle=90-Site Latitude-Polaraxis correction angle

Declination from horisontal plane=Declination+Polaraxsis angle
