In Canada, satellite communications plays a key role in providing secure and reliable communication services to the general public and to different industries. The objective of this proposal is to address a problem of high interest in satellite communications: the need for quick, cost-effective and reliable "self-install" auto-pointing auto-tuning earth station antenna structures capable of holding Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) systems and precisely capture the full geostationary arc of satellites, thus eliminating the need to send a professional installer to remote sites in order to manually point the antenna to the subscribed satellite service. In this project, major types of motorizing antenna mounts will be examined and their overall performance compared using Ka-band 75 cm parabolic antennas. As last step, integrating designed parts and parts from COTS (Components-Off-The-Shelf) should help deriving a Proof of Concept Prototype. The proposed research is timely and relevant to SATCOM technologies and innovation which will help facilitating the complexities and difficulties of onsite installation and deployment of VSAT systems. This work is being supported by C-COM Satellite Systems Inc., a publicly traded company on the TSX. It is a leader in the development and deployment of mobile satellite-based technology for the delivery of 2-way high-speed Internet services into vehicles or other mobile structures as well as a leading service provider of reliable 2-way high-speed broadband satellite based Internet services.

在加拿大，卫星通信在向公众和不同行业提供安全可靠的通信服务方面起着关键作用。该提案的目的是解决对卫星通信引起的高度兴趣的问题：需要快速，成本效益和可靠的“自动安装”自动调用自动调查的自动调用地球站天线结构，能够保持非常小的孔径（ VSAT）系统并精确地捕获了卫星的完整地静止弧，从而消除了将专业安装程序发送到远程站点的需要，以便手动将天线指向订阅的卫星服务。在这个项目中，将检查主要的机动天线架，并使用KA波段75 cm抛物线天线进行比较。在最后一步中，集成了来自COTS（现成的组件）的设计零件和零件应有助于得出概念原型的证明。 拟议的研究及时且与SATCOM技术和创新有关，这将有助于促进现场安装和VSAT系统的复杂性和困难。这项工作得到了TSX上公开交易的公司C-COM Satellite Systems Inc.的支持。它是开发和部署基于移动卫星的技术的领导者基于互联网服务。
