Abstract
The present invention relates to an antenna alignment meter which comprises a receiver for detecting a signal with predetermined characteristics and outputting data pertaining to the detection of the signal, and a controller responsive to the data from the receiver for controlling generation of an indicator that signal has been received. The meter can be used for aligning an antenna with a signal source. The meter is arranged to monitor signals received by the antenna and to provide an indication of correct alignment of the antenna with a desired signal source when a signal of a predetermined frequency, polarization, symbol rate and error correction is received.
