Abstract
A satellite terminal comprises a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine a frequency spectrum distribution for a wireless communication signal received from an antenna, to input the determined frequency spectrum distribution of the received wireless communication signal to a machine learning program trained to identify one or more satellite communication carriers in a frequency spectrum distribution, to receive a list of one or more satellite communication carriers from the trained machine learning program, and to lock the satellite terminal to one of the carriers included in the list of one or more satellite communication carriers.
Claims20
A satellite terminal, comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- determine a frequency spectrum distribution for a wireless communication signal received from an antenna;
- input the determined frequency spectrum distribution of the received wireless communication signal to a machine learning program trained to identify one or more satellite communication carriers in a frequency spectrum distribution;
- receive a list of one or more satellite communication carriers from the trained machine learning program;
- update a stored list by removing from the stored list of carriers a first carrier that is not present in the received list of carriers;
- and
- lock the satellite terminal to one of the carriers included in the stored list of one or more satellite communication carriers.
A method comprising:
- determining a frequency spectrum distribution for a wireless communication signal received from an antenna;
- inputting the determined frequency spectrum distribution of the received wireless communication signal to a machine learning program trained to identify one or more satellite communication carriers in a frequency spectrum distribution;
- receiving a list of one or more satellite communication carriers from the trained machine learning program;
- updating a stored list by removing from the stored list of carriers a first carrier that is not present in the received list of carriers;
- and
- locking a satellite terminal to one of the carriers included in the stored list of one or more satellite communication carriers.
