Polarization Re-alignment for Mobile Satellite Terminals

A method for measurement realignment, comprising:

• obtaining a first factor and a second factor;
• resolving a third factor based on information comprising an offset measurement and said first and second factors;
• resolving a fourth factor based on information comprising said offset measurement and said first and second factors;
• calculating a first cost based on information comprising a cross correlation between said third and fourth factors;
• and
• after said calculating said first cost, generating a fifth factor and a sixth factor based on information comprising said offset measurement.

• obtaining a second offset measurement based on information comprising said cost gradient;
• resolving a fifth factor based on information comprising said second offset measurement;
• resolving a sixth factor based on information comprising said second offset measurement;
• calculating a second cost based on information comprising a cross correlation between said fifth and sixth factors;
• and
• after said calculating said second cost, generating a seventh factor and an eighth factor based on information comprising said second offset measurement.
