Abstract

See full text

An antenna orientation adjustment device (200) include a camera (210), nut runners (220 and 230), and a motion controller (400). The nut runners (220 and 230) can be mounted on an azimuth adjustment bolt (160) and an elevation adjustment bolt (180), respectively. The nut runners (220 and 230) change the orientation of an antenna unit by applying motor power to the azimuth adjustment bolt (160) and the elevation adjustment bolt (180). The motion controller (400) calculates an angle position of the antenna unit (110) where a reception strength is maximum based on an image taken by the camera (210) and a reception strength of radio waves received by the antenna unit (110), and then adjusts the antenna unit (110) to the angle position where the reception strength is maximum by supplying a drive signal to the azimuth adjustment bolt (160) and the elevation adjustment bolt (180).
