Automatic Tracking Satellite Dishes aresatellite dishes used while a vehicle, boat or ship is in motion. Automatic tracking satellite dishes utilizegyroscopes,GPS position sensors, and uses unique satellite identification data and an integratedDVB decoder to aid in identification of the satellite that it is pointing at.
The dishes consist usually ofstepper motors to drive and aim the dish,gyroscopes to detect changes in position while the vehicle is in motion, aparabolic reflector,low-noise block converter, and control unit.
They can use also shiftedPhased arrays. (example:Starlink Dish).
