Electrical and mechanical aspects of an antenna mount which may be used for any geostationary satellite, preferably operating at frequencies between 10 and 60 GHz are discussed. The requirements and conditions of such antenna systems are described and the severe requirements that result from the reuse of frequency principle at these frequencies are explained. Some mechanical principles that have been introduced in the antenna mount are discussed. The mount is limited steerable with an azimuth range of 20 degrees and an elevation range of 10 degrees. If observations of one satellite are finished it is possible by a very simple arrangement to let the antenna point towards a different geostationary satellite. Coordinate transformations are given. Experience obtained from participation in an ATS-6 millimeter experiment is included and proposals are made for further improvement for the antenna system.
