Abstract
The present invention discloses a multi-stage peak location detection method for satellite communications. The method comprises decomposing a joint/full three-dimensional (3D) search space into a plurality of lower-dimensional separate search spaces; performing peak location detection in each separate search space through a multi-stage process employing progressively decreasing step sizes; and executing angular hopping during the peak location detection to avoid effects of power dead zones, thereby achieving beam alignment with a target satellite while reducing the overall search number.

A multi-stage peak location detection method for satellite communications, comprising:
- decomposing a joint/full three-dimensional (3D) search space into a plurality of lower-dimensional separate search spaces;
- performing peak location detection in each of the separate search spaces through a multi-stage process employing progressively decreasing step sizes;
- and
- executing angular hopping during the peak location detection to avoid effects of power dead zones;
- wherein the method achieves beam alignment with a target satellite while reducing a total number of searches.
