Overview of SatFlower i6 3
Overview of SatFlower i6
Introduction to SatFlower i6
SatFlower i6 is a digital satellite antenna system designed specifically for
all types of vessels (Anchored or transit) to automatically identify, track
and capture satellite signals from the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB:
the international standard for digital TV transmissions) compatible
Satellites.
Specifically, SatFlower i6 has Wide Range Search (WRS) algorithm,

which minimizes the search time at initial state and Dynamic Beam Tilting
(DBT) technology, which dynamically shapes the antenna beam to utilize
stabilization. Once the satellite is acquired, the antenna DBT continuously
measures the heading, pitch, and roll of the vessel by obtaining satellite
signal level around the antenna point, and transmits commands to the
antenna motors to keep the antenna pointed at the satellite at all times.
This active stabilization is enhanced by a conical scan tracking function to
detect and lock onto the strongest signal, resulting in the clearest
reception possible.
GPS is built in into the SatFlower i6. The SatFlower i6 also has a built-in
function of automatic adjustment of skew angle of LNB. With the two
added built-in features the SatFlower i6 enables for faster and more
efficient tracking of satellites. With the SatFlower i6 is not required to put
additional GPS information and to change skew angles when traveling
away from the original optimized GPS data and skew angle.

Installation 9
Selection of Installation Site

Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedure to secure
the maximum functionality of the antenna.
The ideal antenna site has a clear

view of the horizon/satellite all
around. Please be sure to see if obstacle
there are any obstacles 15
degrees above elevation blocking
Antenna Unit
the antenna. Any obstacles 15°
located above 15 degree
elevation can prevent the antenna from tracking satellite signal (Refer to
the drawing).
Keep the antenna out of line with nearby radars, as their energy levels
may overload the antenna front-end circuits. If necessary, position the
antenna unit so it is at least four feet (1.2 meters) above or below the level
of the radar.
Make sure that the mounting surface is rigid so that it cannot flex when the
vessel vibrates. If necessary, add a strength member to the mounting site
to stiffen it.
The movement of the antenna can be minimized by installing it at the

center of the ship. For optimal performance of the antenna it is not
recommended to install at any corners of the ship, where the movement of
the ship is the greatest.
Install the bottom of the antenna parallel to the surface of the sea and fix
tightly to the structure of the ship.
When the antenna is to be laid down, be careful not to have the power
connector and RF connector damaged by striking directly against the
bottom, which causes connection to be impossible.
Installation and fixation of antenna

The method of installation and fixation of antenna may be diverse with
vessel design but the following procedures are applicable in most
situations and will result in a secure and effective installation.
Confirmation of size and installation of power tower

y Confirm the height and diameter of the bottom surface of the antenna
before installing it.
y The space must be sufficient for installing the antenna unit
considering the height and diameter of the antenna.
y The height and the diameter of the bottom surface of the antenna are
as shown in the following drawing. If possible, install power tower
where antenna is to be installed.

Target Satellite Setting

You can select the target satellite to receive satellite signal. If the
target satellite is not on the list you have to register the target
satellite.
Satellite registration
You can register the target satellite through the ACU or the PC
Program. To register the target satellite, the antenna system has to
be in ‘SET UP mode’ and the required information are, Satellite
name, Satellite Longitude, Method of Satellite identification, Frequency
of each of the Band, Symbol Rate, Network ID, Power Change
method. For detailed instructions, please refer to page 22; ‘Edit
Satellite Information’, page 37; ‘Set Satellite Information’, and page 38;
‘Set Tracking Information of Satellite’.
Satellite Pair Selection

You can select the Satellite pair from the list through the ACU or the
program. You can easily select the target satellite from the satellite
pair. For detailed instructions please refer to page 19; ‘Setting the
Satellite pair’, page 37; ‘Set Satellite Information’.
Target Satellite Selection

Choose the target satellite from the Satellite Pair. When selecting
through the ACU, you have to press the left button to select the
target satellite while the antenna system is in either ‘Searching Mode’
or ‘Tracking Mode’. When using the PC program you can select either
satellite ‘A’ or satellite ‘B’ from ‘Tracking Satellite’ at anytime.
Installation 15
LNB
Skew Angle Setting
The LNB feed horn skew angle has to be fixed at a specific position to
receive the maximized the satellite signal level. The skew angle is
calculated with the GPS data of the territory when registering the Satellite
Pair. According to the shift in longitude and latitude data the skew angle
will adjust to the optimal angle accordingly. When there is an error
between the calculated skew angle and the actual skew angle you can
manually adjust the skew angle.
Adjustment of LNB Skew Angle

When you press the middle button of the ACU while the antenna system is
in ‘Searching Mode’ or ‘Tracking Mode’, the elevation angle or the signal
strength will be shown. If you press the middle button one more time, the
current skew angle will appear. From this position when you press the
right or left button of the ACU, the LNB skew angle will move in CW or
CCW direction in one degree increments. Also, you can move the LNB
skew angle in CW or CCW direction by one degree increments from the
‘Set LNB Skew’ menu when the antenna is in ‘SET UP Mode’. Refer page
28; ‘Selection of LNB Skew Angle’. If you don’t know the exact LNB skew
angle, adjust the angle by finding position where the satellite signal
strength is at the maximum level. When the LNB skew angle is adjusted
manually, the antenna system stores this information until you reset the
satellite pair information. When selecting the target satellite, the skew
motor automatically sets the optimal skew angle for the antenna system to
track the target satellite.
In case of LNB turning mechanism available

The skew drive mechanism is consisted of the
rotational feed horn, skew motor and LNB. Skew LNB
angle may be adjusted manually to the target angle

through ACU and GUI Program. The current skew
angle will be indicated through the ACU and GUI
program.
BELT
SatFlower i6 with GPS sensor is built in, manual
adjustment of skew angle by user is not required. MOTOR
The skew angle is continuously adjusted

automatically through the calculation of the optimum
skew angle by using the information of the targeted satellite and the
output value from the GPS sensor. Together with such location information
of the ship as ship’s longitudinal and latitudinal position change from
movement the skew angle will be adjusted accordingly. The skew angle of
LNB is shown by ACU and GUI Program.

The more precise the GPS information is, the quicker the antenna is able
to search the satellite. The method to input information into GPS is to
push “Set GPS” button after keying in the latitude and longitude
information on “City GPS”. Pushing “Add City” button stores the GPS
information. By selecting the stored region in the list box, the GPS
information of such region is displayed. The SatFlower i6 satellite TV
antenna system utilizes GPS data to locate the satellite faster. The GPS
sensor imbedded in the SatFlower i6 is updated every 10 seconds. When
GPS sensor delivers valid data to the antenna system, blue light will start
blinking on the GPS message section. When GPS sensor delivers invalid
data to the antenna system, red light will start blinking on the GPS
message section. According to the updated GPS data the optimal skew
angle will also be automatically updated.
