Download the latest version now ("saa_setup.exe") The program "Satellite Antenna Alignment" is used to calculate the angles necessary for installing satellite dishes. The main difference from similar software is the possibility to calculate the position for all satellites at once. Thus, you get a clear picture about what satellites can be physically visible from the location where the dish will be installed. It should be kept in mind that the program makes a purely theoretical calculation according to formulas and in real circumstances a lot of additional factors should be taken into account when a satellite dish is installed. These factors include various obstacles (buildings, trees), the landscape, the altitude, transponder orientation, polarization, etc. Nevertheless, this program will allow you to evaluate the position quite precisely. The calculation can be saved to a text file, copied to the Windows clipboard or printed out at once. It is possible to save the list of locations for which the calculation is done. Later on, you will not have to enter the coordinates of these locations again. Just select them from the table. This is an evaluation version "Satellite Antenna Alignment" that you may try and distribute free of charge for private noncommercial usage, as long as you need. For regular or commercial usage you are required to order the full version. You will receive license code (via email) that enable full functionality without nag screen and other restrictions. For online ordering, please visit the "Satellite Antenna Alignment" online order page. Payment by Credit/Debit Card, PayPal, W ire transfer, Purchase order, Check/Cash, WebMoney, Yandex.money accepted. You should start working with the program from entering the geographical coordinates of the location where you are going to install the satellite dish. Enter your coordinates in the "Site location" box. The high latitude is specified with the "N" char, the low latitude is specified with the the "S" char. Similarly, the eastern longitude is with the "E" char, while the western longitude is with the "W" char. After all the coordinates are entered, you will see the calculation for all satellites at once in the table to the left. Their azimuth and elevation are calculated. Azimuth is the direction to the satellite in degrees from the clockwise direction to the north. Elevation is an angle (measured in degrees) between the direction of the signal from the satellite and a tangential plane to the Earth surface in the location. If the elevation is negative, the satellite is below the horizon and it is impossible to receive signals from it in principle. Thus, the satellites whose elevation is a positive value are theoretically visible from your location. If you know the azimuth, you can quickly find the direction to the satellite and see what obstacles (neighboring houses, trees) there are in the way of the signal from the satellite to your dish.

Satellite Antenna Alignment

The  latest  version  2.99.0  has  been  released  on  08  January,  2014.  Download  the  latest  version  now("saa_setup.exe")

The program "Satellite Antenna Alignment" is used to calculate the angles necessary for installing satellite dishes. Themain difference from similar software is the possibility to calculate the position for all satellites at once. Thus, you get aclear picture about what satellites can be physically visible from the location where the dish will be installed. It shouldbe  kept  in  mind  that  the  program  makes  a  purely  theoretical  calculation  according  to  formulas  and  in  realcircumstances a lot of additional factors should be taken into account when a satellite dish is installed. These factorsinclude various  obstacles  (buildings,  trees),  the  landscape,  the  altitude,  transponder  orientation,  polarization,  etc.Nevertheless, this program will allow you to evaluate the position quite precisely. The calculation can be saved to atext file, copied to the Windows clipboard or printed out at once. It is possible to save the list of locations for whichthe calculation is done. Later on, you will not have to enter the coordinates of these locations again. Just select themfrom the table.

You should start working with the program from entering the geographical coordinates of the location where you aregoing to install the satellite dish. Enter your coordinates in the "Site location" box. The high latitude is specified withthe "N" char, the low latitude is specified with the the "S" char. Similarly, the eastern longitude is with the "E" char,while the western longitude is with the "W" char. After all the coordinates are entered, you will see the calculation forall satellites at once in the table to the left. Their azimuth and elevation are calculated. Azimuth is the direction to thesatellite in degrees from the clockwise direction to the north. Elevation is an angle (measured in degrees) betweenthe direction of the signal from the satellite and a tangential plane to the Earth surface in the location. If the elevationis  negative,  the  satellite  is  below  the  horizon  and  it  is  impossible  to  receive  signals  from  it  in  principle.  Thus,  thesatellites whose elevation is a positive value are theoretically visible from your location. If you know the azimuth, youcan quickly find the direction to the satellite and see what obstacles (neighboring houses, trees) there are in the wayof the signal from the satellite to your dish.

As it was mentioned above, the program uses absolute values and calculates everything according to formulas. Thus,the calculated azimuth is an angle from the true north and not from what your compass may show because a compassis a really unstable thing, especially in a city. It is better to orient it by the sun )

Additionally, the program has a mechanism for calculating the azimuth of the sun and you can do everything without acompass now! The azimuth  is  calculated  for  the  location  the  coordinates of which  you  specified  for  calculating  theazimuths of satellites. You can specify the date (the current date is taken by default) and calculate how the sun moveswith a one minute discontinuity. The calculation results are displayed in the table to the left. Both the azimuth and theelevation are calculated for the sun for the current moment of time. Thus, you can install the satellite dish without acompass at all. First, find the azimuth of the satellite you need. Then calculate the azimuth of the sun for the day onwhich you are going to install the dish. Find the azimuth of the sun that is most close to the azimuth to the satelliteand you will see the time (and date) when the sun will be in the same direction where the satellite is. Turn the dish tothe sun at  the specified moment of  time,  the azimuth of  the sun coincides with  the azimuth of  the satellite at  thismoment.  Or  just  note  this  direction  and  install  the  dish  later.  Remember  to  specify  your  time  zone  for  calculation(Moscow: +3 GMT).  The program also  calculates  the  azimuths  of  the  sunrise  and  sunset,  as well  as  the  time  andelevation when the sun is exactly in the south. Home & Pro hdmi cables by Cmple.

The program draws a simple diagram representing the four directions. The yellow sector is daytime, its eastern part issunrise and its western part is sunset. The same diagram can be used to schematically represent the direction to thesatellite you need. Select the satellite from the drop­down list and the red line will show the direction to it (azimuth). Ifthe elevation is negative, no red line is drawn (the satellite is not visible).

Offset satellite dishes are widely spread now. When such a dish is completely vertical, it already has some elevation(~20­25 degrees). You can enter the size of your offset dish (height and width) and the program will calculate theexact elevation for this dish. The calculation is done only for dishes whose height is greater than width. Enter the sizeof the dish in millimeters. Here you will see the elevation to the selected satellite and the angle you should actuallyinstall you dish at (in degrees from the Earth surface).

Altitude (Elevation):Altitude is the angle up from the horizon. Zero degrees altitude means exactly on your local horizon, and 90 degrees is

"straight up". Hence, "directly underfoot" is ­90 degrees altitude.

Azimuth:Azimuth is the angle along the horizon, with zero degrees corresponding to North, and increasing in a clockwise

fashion. Thus, 90 degrees is East, 180 degrees is South, and 270 degrees is West. Using these two angles, one candescribe the apparent position of an object (such as the Sun at a given time).
