  2. SATCOM on the MOVE (SOTM) • Satellite Communication • Mobile Vehicle Connection • Primarily used in military applications • Generally Bulky Design

  3. SATCOM on the MOVE (SOTM) Our Design • Low Profile • Frequency • Ka-Band Satellite Uplink/Downlink • 30/20 GHz • Speed • Rotational/Elevation Speed • GPS Tracking Adjust

  4. SATCOM on the MOVE Specifications

  5. Project Breakdown Andrew Iepson (E.E. Major) • Project Manager • Antenna Design • Overall Electrical Design Kevin Christman (C.E. Major) • Software Design/Interface

  6. Project Breakdown James Murduca(M.E. Major) • Mechanical Assembly Design • Interface with software Liz LiSoony (M.E. Major) • Manufacturing • Budget

  7. SATCOM Antenna Design • Kraus’ “Big Ear” design • High Gain • Low-Profile • Width of flat reflector @ 20 GHz w/ 2o beam-width: 0.45m = 1.5ft

  8. Tracking System • USB GPS Receiver • Determine azimuth angle • Continuously compare azimuth to set satellite position • Adjust device position as needed with motors

  9. Interface/Software • GPS Receiver Data - USB connection • Motor Control – Serial Port connection • C++ application to compare GPS data and adjust motors as needed

  10. Mechanical Design • Rotational Mounting Device • Size: < 4ft (mountable atop an SUV) • Speed: rotate the speed or the vehicle • Goal: Add Tilt Control • Manufacture: • Parabolic Reflector
