Enhanced back assembly for Ka/Ku ODU

A system for delivering satellite signals, comprising:

• an uplink facility;
• at least one satellite, receiving at least one uplink signal from the uplink facility;
• and transmitting at least one satellite signal;
• a plurality of receivers, receiving the at least one satellite signal at an antenna,
• a mast, for mounting the antenna to a desired location;
• and
• an alignment mechanism, coupled between the antenna and the mast, comprising:
• an azimuth mechanism having a predetermined pre-load for adjusting the azimuth position of the antenna, the pre-determined pre-load being provided by a rivet at a pivot point of the azimuth mechanism;
• and
• an elevation mechanism, coupled to the azimuth mechanism, for adjusting the elevation of the antenna, wherein the azimuth mechanism has a radius larger than a radius of the mast, and the azimuth mechanism further comprises a fine adjustment mechanism.

An alignment mechanism for aligning an antenna to a satellite configuration, comprising:

• a mast, for mounting the antenna;
• and
• an alignment mechanism, coupled between the antenna and the mast, comprising:
• an azimuth mechanism having a predetermined pre-load for adjusting the azimuth position of the antenna, the pre-determined pre-load being provided by a rivet at a pivot point of the azimuth mechanism.
