Acquiring Inclined Orbit Satellites

Our AIM control unit is engineered to track non-geostationary (non-GEO) satellites, including those in inclined orbits. These inclined orbit satellites can present challenges due to their unique movement patterns, but the AIM control unit is equipped with sophisticated functionalities to address these challenges.

Toast rack Search Method

One of the key features of the AIM control unit is its ability to perform a toast rack search. This method utilises the beamwidth of the satellite, the inclination angle, and the estimated position (box centre) of where the satellite should be. By carefully calculating these parameters, the AIM control unit systematically scans the sky, ensuring that the antenna is accurately aligned with the satellite’s position. This process optimises the acquisition and tracking of inclined orbit satellites, providing reliable communication links.
