Satellite Auto Alignment and Commissioning Method for Automated Antenna Terminals

Satellite Auto-Alignment and Commissioning system for Automated Antennas Terminals, wherein the system comprises:

• an automated antenna terminal (AAT);
• a satellite modem connected to the AA, the satellite modem configured to receive a Multicast information, the Multicast information being sent from a server in a continuous way;
• an Application Protocol Interface (API) that is configured to receive the Multicast information from the satellite modem wherein:
• the API is further configured, for the satellite modem, to transmit a Clean carrier Wave (CW) via the AAT to the server through a satellite communication in a frequency fixed by the Multicast information having a power at the satellite modem controlled by the API;
• the API is further configured to measure a Signal-to-Noise rate (SNR) of a signal including the Multicast information at the AAT, and extracting, from the Multicast information, a Copol parameter, a Cross-pol parameter and an ASI parameter along with a plurality of thresholds of the SNR, the Copol parameter, the Cross-pol parameter and the ASI parameter;
• the API is further configured, for the satellite modem, to stop the transmission of the CW;
• the API is further configured to compare the measured SNR and the extracted Copol, the extracted Cross-pol and the extracted ASI parameters with the plurality of thresholds;
• and,
• if at least one of the SNR, the Copol, the Cross-pol or the ASI parameters does not meet its respective threshold, the API is further configured to modify the at least one parameter that does not meet its respective threshold at the AAT controlled by an antenna control unit (ACU);
• and
• the API is further configured to calculate a saturation point named the One dB Compression Point and denoted as “1dBCP” at which the power of the satellite modem is maximum without distortion.
