If i understand correctly the antenna tracks a specific satellite as it transit above it.

So how does it handle the switch from that satellite to the next one without losing signal?



Seems like once its found the optimal pointing it stays there, the rest is done with phased array steering, so very rapid tracking / switching possible.


the patent for the antenna shows dual simultaneous beamforming. some form of make-before-break. how exactly they're doing it is quite opaque to the end user, and part of their secret recipe.
