Multiband feedhorn mount assembly for ground satellite receiving antenna

For use with a ground satellite receiving antenna for receiving co-located transmissions in a plurality of frequency bands from one or more satellites and including a reflector and an antenna bridge, a multiband feedhorn mount assembly for co-locating first and second feedhorns on said satellite receiving antenna, said multiband feedhorn mount assembly comprising:

• a first mounting bracket secured to said antenna bridge and adjustably supporting a first feedhorn;
• and
• a second mounting bracket supporting a second feedhorn and including means for adjustably attaching said second mounting bracket to said first mounting bracket such that said second feedhorn may be individually oriented relative to said first feedhorn and to said reflector, said second mounting bracket being pivotally attached to said first mounting bracket to provide for independent angular elevation of said second bracket relative to said first bracket.

For use in multiband feedhorn mount assembly for co-locating first and second feedhorns on a ground satellite receiving antenna, and particularly for piggybacking a second feedhorn upon a first feedhorn mounting bracket assembly, an adapter bracket comprising:

• a base plate for adjustably supporting said second feedhorn, a pair of legs extending from said base plate, and means for pivotally attaching said legs of said adapter bracket to the first feedhorn mounting bracket assembly.
