Antenna Azimuth and Elevation Graph

Azimuth tracks the horizontal steering vector angle relative clockwise from true North across the horizontal ground layout. Elevation maps the vertical pitch scaling boundaries rising immediately from the horizontal surface up towards the targeted geostationary orbit endpoint.

Formulas & Geometrical Space Logic

Pointing properties map real-time structural lookup metrics across vector orientations relative directly to spherical tracking rules:

Geocentric Constant System baselines:
Mean Planetary Base Radius (R0) = 6370 km
Geostationary Synchronization Height (h) = 35800 km
Azimuth Angular Tracking:
Azimuth = atan(tan(delta_lon) / sin(rx_lat)) + 180
Elevation Vertical Pitch:
Elevation = atan([cos(rx_lat) * cos(delta_lon) - (R0 / (R0 + h))] / sqrt(1 - [cos(rx_lat) * cos(delta_lon)]^2))
