Abstract (en)
In a signal receiver provided with an antenna (111), an antenna alignment controller (141) incorporates an available signals detector (142) searching for available signals, a critical signals selector (144) selecting critical signals, a critical signals analyzer (145) cyclically measuring the quality of critical signals and a signal information generator (143) providing concurrently the quality of at least two available signals at the alignment interface. The antenna alignment controller (141) can be implemented as software or may constitute a separate hardware element of the receiver or software operated by one of receiver blocks.
