Multi-Beam Satellite Seeking and Acquisition Method for Satcom-on-the-Move Array Antenna on a High Maneuverability copyright

When the copyright of the Satcom-on-the-Move (SOTM) antenna is in a high maneuvering state of motion, the accuracy of the array antenna beam pointing towards the satellite may decrease, which may cause a decline in communication effectiveness for SOTM or even cause the antenna to deviate from the target satellite and lead to communication interrupt
