Abstract

The aim of the invention is to develop a method for antenna pointing which is accurate, economical, low-dependent on time of day and insensitive to atmospheric conditions. The inventive method consists in using an antenna (1) for capturing and amplifying electromagnetic solar radiation which is received by processing (9) and signalling (5) devices, thereby making it possible to obtain an absolute azimuth and elevation reference. Afterwards, electromagnetic radiation (12) of a directional transmitter is used in order to delicately adjust the antenna (1). The signalling device (5) makes it possible to obtain all useful information (11) sent by a decoder (9) through a coaxial cable (6) near the installation of the antenna (1).
