An optimization problem of an antenna coverage pattern for a regional communications satellite when an antenna-pointing error exists is discussed. A new performance measure is introduced to evaluate the coverage pattern. This measure is defined as the statistical mean of the ratio between two areas, the full service area and the part of it covered by the antenna. The optimum coverage pattern which maximizes this measure under certain constraint is obtained. The results of numerical calculations are included to demonstrate the technique.
