In an antenna device used for microwave communication between a geostationary satellite and the ground, it is necessary to direct the main beam of the antenna device toward the geostationary satellite. For example, the beam width of the main beam of an antenna with an aperture diameter of 1 m used in the 12 GHz band is about 1 degree, and the direction must be adjusted with an accuracy of about 0.2 degrees.

また、地上から見た静止衛星の方向は、静止術(2) 星の位置および地上の緯度、経度によって定まり。Also, the direction of a geostationary satellite as seen from the ground is determined by geostationary technique (2). Determined by the position of the stars and the latitude and longitude of the ground.

For example, if a geostationary satellite is located on a geostationary orbit at 110 degrees east longitude, the azimuth and elevation angles will be the values shown in Table 1.

Table 1 [Prior Art] Conventionally, such a parabolic antenna device has a primary radiator (1), 9 reflectors (2), an azimuth adjustment section (3), and an elevation adjustment section (4) as shown in Fig. 1. ), a synchro transmitter (5aX5b), and an angle display section (6), and the direction of the main beam of the antenna device is adjusted to the angle (3) degree display section (6) using the synchro transmitters (5a) and (5b). It was displayed. The direction was then adjusted using this angle as a reference. This is because such an antenna device requires synchro transmitters (5a) (5b) and an angle display section (6).

The problem was that it was expensive. Furthermore, when such antenna devices are installed in different locations (for example, in Tokyo or Sapporo), the directions of the geostationary satellites are different, so there is a problem in that materials showing these directions are required.

In addition, as shown in Figure 2, in the case of an inexpensive antenna device that does not use a synchro transmitter or an angle display, it is necessary to adjust the direction by referring to a reception level monitor device (7) such as a receiver. . Therefore, when the beam width of the antenna device is narrow, the range where the reception level is strong is narrow, making it difficult to adjust the direction.
