Boresight – Definition and Pronunciation
What is Boresight?
Boresight is the direction of maximum antenna gain. For a receiving antenna, the boresight is aligned with the satellite as accurately as possible in order to achieve maximum received signal strength.
Examples of Boresight
Because width of the main lobe of the antenna increases between the azimuth and elevation axes as the antenna is rotated around the boresight, the alignment of the major axis of the antenna with the GSO must be considered.
From “Aeronautical Mobility Services”.
Antennas in a satellite environment are reflective systems, typically parabolic in shape. A highly directional antenna concentrates most of the radiated power along the antenna “boresight.”
From “Exploring the Future of Satellites”.
