TROPOSCATTER ANTENNA POINTING

A troposcatter terminal can include a location receiver, a network interface, an antenna control unit, and a motor controller. The location receiver can be configured to receive first current location information associated with a local troposcatter antenna. The network interface can be configured to receive second current location information associated with a distant troposcatter antenna. The antenna control unit can be configured to determine a heading from the local troposcatter antenna to the distant troposcatter antenna, an azimuth angle for the local troposcatter antenna, and an elevation angle for the local troposcatter antenna, the heading, the azimuth angle, and the elevation angle based on the first location information and the second location information. The motor controller can be configured to point the local troposcatter antenna according to the heading, the azimuth angle, and the elevation angle to establish troposcatter communications between the local troposcatter antenna and the distant troposcatter antenna.
