Abstract

A ground equipment (10) and a satellite tracking method used therein are provided. The satellite tracking method is employed by the ground equipment (10) to maintain communication with a satellite via a best communication beam. The method utilizes the signal strength received from the satellite through a plurality of candidate beams neighboring the best communication beam to determine whether to replace the best communication beam with one of these candidate beams (S400 - S404). This approach achieves efficient tracking by avoiding the need to scan all quasi-communication beams. Furthermore, when the ground equipment switches to an incoming satellite (a second satellite operating in the same orbit), the satellite tracking method determines the communication beam to be used to initiate communication with that incoming satellite. This determination is made based on the angular change of the ground equipment's orientation, where the angular change is measured between the point of initiating communication with the current (first) satellite and the moment of satellite replacement.
