Simple vernier pointing technique devised to facilitate scanning beam pointing of large paraboloidal reflector so line of sight of antenna sweeps out narrow cone about fixed axis (conical scan, also known as "conscan" in art). Scan effected by one of relatively small beam-waveguide reflectors or mirrors that couple signals between antenna and distant transmitting and/or receiving electronic circuits. Easier to tilt small mirror than to tilt massive antenna structure.
