Abstract
A modular three-axes antenna pedestal includes: an azimuth frame rotatably mounted about an azimuth axis, the azimuth frame having an azimuth beam and a post releasably mounted to the azimuth beam; an azimuth driver rotating the azimuth frame about the azimuth axis; a cross-level frame pivotally mounted on the azimuth frame to pivot about a cross-level axis; a cross-level driver pivoting the cross-level frame relative to the azimuth frame; an elevation frame supporting a tracking antenna, the elevation frame being pivotally mounted on the cross-level frame to pivot about an elevation axis; and an elevation driver pivoting the elevation frame relative to the cross-level frame. A method of using the modular three-axes antenna pedestal is also disclosed.
