Alignment system
First Claim
1. A system for determining alignment of a first subsystem relative to a second subsystem, the system comprising:
- a first antenna system for simultaneously transmitting a delta pattern radiation beam at a first frequency and a sum pattern radiation beam at a second frequency;
a second antenna system for receiving the delta pattern radiation beam at the first frequency and the sum pattern radiation beam at the second frequency; and
a processor to process the received delta pattern radiation beam and sum pattern radiation beam to determine if a predetermined alignment criterion between the first antenna system and the second antenna system is satisfied.

Abstract
An apparatus for determining alignment of a first subsystem relative to a second subsystem. The apparatus includes a first antenna system for simultaneously transmitting a delta pattern radiation beam at a first frequency and a sum pattern radiation beam at a second frequency. The apparatus also includes a second antenna system for receiving the delta pattern radiation beam at the first frequency and the sum pattern radiation beam at the second frequency. The apparatus also includes a processor to process the received delta pattern radiation beam and sum pattern radiation beam to determine if a predetermined alignment criterion between the first antenna system and the second antenna system is satisfied.

10. A method for determining alignment of a first subsystem relative to a second subsystem, the method comprising:
-
simultaneously transmitting, with a first antenna system, a delta pattern radiation beam from a first antenna system at a first frequency and a sum pattern radiation beam at a second frequency; receiving, with a second antenna system, the delta pattern radiation beam at the first frequency and the sum pattern radiation beam at the second frequency; and processing the received delta pattern radiation beam and sum pattern radiation beam to determine if a predetermined alignment criterion between the first antenna system and the second antenna system is satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
