System for concurrent mobile two-way data communications and TV reception
First Claim
1. A mobile in-motion terminal system for concurrently communicating by at least one antenna with (1) one satellite disposed at a geostationary orbital location and providing both TV broadcast and two-way data communications and/or (2) at least two satellites located at substantially the same geo-stationary orbital position, with one satellite providing TV broadcast and another satellite providing two-way data communications, said terminal system comprising:
- a transmit/receive system coupled to said antenna and comprising a transmitter and receiver operative to provide two-way type data communication using a first frequency band with said one satellite,a receive system coupled to said antenna and comprising a receiver operative to receive TV signals from said same or other satellite,a phase controlling and combining block operative to provide phasing and summation of the signals coming from a plurality of antenna array outputs, anda polarization control block operative to control and adjust a polarization tilt offset for linearly polarized signals reception.

Abstract
A low profile mobile in-motion antenna and transmit/receive terminal system for two-way “VSAT” type satellite communication using FSS service, preferably in Ku band, supporting at the same time TV signal reception from the same satellite or a separate DBS satellite located at the same or nearby geo-stationary orbital position.
