Abstract
The present invention includes an autonomous antennal device with fast pointing switching. The antennal device has an electron beam switching antenna, and the device is linkable by a cable to a radioelectric facility. The device includes a calculation unit to determine a direction of pointing of the beam of the antenna on the basis of measurement parameters for the radiofrequency signal processed by the facility, and the parameters are received on a communication interface of the device. The invention applies, for example, to intelligent antennas, sometimes designated by the acronym FESA, which stands for Fast Electronically Steerable Antenna.
