1. A system for communication, comprising:

  • a low profile, two-way vehicle-mounted satellite antenna;

    a plurality of tracking sensors including a received signal strength indicator circuit, one or more gyroscopes, an inclinometer and a global positioning system receiver;

    an electromechanical polarizer having a mechanically rotatable input probe set in a circular waveguide; and

    a processor, configured to receive input from the tracking sensors and use the input to autonomously acquire, and maintain beam angle tracking of, a satellite while a vehicle on which the antenna is mounted is in motion, and to track linear polarization orientation of a linearly polarized satellite signal by rotating the electromechanical polarizer'"'"'s input probe.
