Abstract
A receive sum tracking antenna system that continuously tracks a TV satellite is proposed. The receiving parabolic antenna is fixed with auxiliary arrays for picking up the off-axis signals. A microprocessor processes the received signals and controls X -Y stepper motors so as to adjust the orientation direction of the antenna
