Abstract

The invention relates to an improved method and to a corresponding device for tracking an antenna located on or in a moving object, to a transmitter, particularly to a satellite. The invention is characterized, among other things, by the following features: both main beam directions (K1, K2) or major lobes (HK, VK) of both received orthogonal polarizations (H, V) each have a squint angle ( alpha ) that diverges with regard to one another, and; the orientation and tracking of the antenna (3) for attaining a maximum receive level of the respective currently received polarization (H, V) ensues according to a received signal with regard to the additional polarization of the received signal level that, due to the squinting orientation, is lower and produces a high level variation.
