4.3.4 Reference Searching

In cases where the target carrier of the desired satellite and the carrier of the adjacent
satellite have the same parameters (frequency, symbol rate, FEC, etc.), the antenna can
search for the carrier of the adjacent satellite. This method is strongly recommended in
such cases.
To use this method, the user must select the reference satellite which is certain to
search and track the carrier. The reference searching process is as given below. Please
refer to Figures 4-1 and 4-2 below.
a. First, the antenna searches and tracks the reference satellite.
b. The antenna tracks the reference carrier for 10 seconds.
c. Then, the antenna searches for the desired carrier.
