Executive Summary :

The main course of work is to design 7? tilt system supported on a base structure for the 7.5 m diameter antenna structure. The base structure is basically tapered and rotates about 360 degrees about the azimuth axis. The base structure will be locked for a set azimuth angle of rotation about azimuth axis during the pass time of the satellite. The antenna rotates about the elevation and azimuth axis while tracking the satellite.
