 INTRODUCTION
• Antenna is used in many applications such as RADAR, DTH etc. so
dish cannot be adjusted manually in large applications.so proposed
system helps to adjust the dish using android application. In this
proposed system power meter plays a vital role. Power meter is
used to measure the maximum signal strength. According to
received signal from power meter, dish will rotate automatically. This
proposed system helps to reduce the human efforts especially in
large applications. This system uses two stepper motors which
enables it to move in horizontal and vertical direction.
• In order to receive these signals, it has to be in the direct line of sight of
the antenna.
• For getting best signal, following should be done: The line of sight view
to the particular satellite is free of obstacles and obstructions. Adjust the
antenna reflector to azimuth angle obtained for the Particular satellite.
This adjustment is the east- west movement of the reflector on the
mount and is given in azimuth degree. While the transmission and
broadcast is uninterrupted most of the times, in some cases or
situations, it may not be very clear or may stop altogether. The antenna
of dish TVs tends to change in angle and may go out of alignment. It
may then require some adjustment so that you can receive good
reception. In order to position the dish to the exact angle to receive the
maximum signal of a particular frequency, it needs to be adjusted
manually. To overcome this difficulty the proposed system helps in
adjusting the position of the dish
 PROBLEM FORMULATION

• The proposed model of remote controlled dish positioning system can

adjust the position of dish remotely by using IR remote. It will reduce the
difficulty in adjusting the position of dish manually.
• The advantages of the proposed system are less complexity, easy to
implement and low cost. Also, an automated system helps to reduce the
human intervention and saves time.
• The signal received by antennas is affected by the direction of transmitting
stations those changes over time so there is a need of system that
automatically changes the antenna positioning if there is any change in
transmitting station over time.
 OBJECTIVE

The objectives from this project are:

• To develop an ARDUINO code for controlling motors’ movement.

• To simulate the system for controlling the motors.

• To implement automatic satellite positioning system

• To evaluate the look angles that are rotated by motors using Serial Monitor.

• To make reduce of the poor signaling.

• To access the system from anywhere across the globe.

 METHODOLOGY

Antenna positioner used to align the antenna to the desired satellite. It composed from
android application, controller and motors. It uses android application for calculating the
antenna look angles that are required for perfect alignment with the satellite. In case the
direction of satellite or station changes with time the direction of antenna also changes
accordingly. Android application send two values to a controller (ARDUINO) which is
responsible for moving two motors. The controller uses the sign of each received value as
direction for moving the intended motor and uses the absolute value of each received value
as the angle that the intended motor must be moved to it. Motors adjust the antenna to the
correct position depending on the controller commands. As a result, Our model allows for
monitoring antenna direction as well as transmitting new coordinates to position the
antenna and motor appropriately positions the antenna accordingly.
 APPLICATION

This project is limited to its applications due to the constraint of time and
cost. This project can be developed with more sophistication and advanced
facilities and its application can be improved.

The following areas where it can be applied are:

1. Transmission system in satellite communication for indian army.

2. In missile launching systems.

3. In mass communication systems in moving vehicles.
