Antenna alignment using state estimation filters

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for orientating an antenna with respect to a reference device. Systems include circuits configured to: predict a state of alignment angles of the antenna as compared to the reference device, use the state to steer the antenna toward a first data source, receive data from the first data source, based on the data from the first data source, determine an 5 error in the state, update the state based on the determined error, and orientate the antenna based on the updated state. 5 20 26 20 03 82 20 J an 2 02 6 2 0 J a n 2 0 2 6 5 2 0 2 6 2 0 0 3 8 2 Sheet 1 / 6 1 1 5 a 1 0 0 1 1 5 b F ig . 1 A n te n n a R e fe re n c e D e v ic e 1 0 3 b 1 0 6 b 1 1 8 b 1 0 6 a 1 1 8 a 1 0 3 a A n te n n a R e fe re n c e D e v ic e 1 2 1 a 1 2 1 b D a ta S o u rc e 1 1 5 a 1 0 0 1 1 5 b F ig . 1 A n te n n a R e fe re n c e D e v ic e 1 0 3 b 1 0 6 b 1 1 8 b 1 0 6 a 1 1 8 a 1 0 3 a A n te n n a R e fe re n c e D e v ic e 1 2 1 a 1 2 1 b D a ta S o u rc e 20 26 20 03 82 2 0 Ja n 20 26 2026200382 20 Jan 2026 100 115a 118a Data Source 121a 103a 106a Reference Device Sheet 1 / 6 121b Antenna 118b 103b Reference 106b 115b Device
