Inclined orbit.

If I receive an inclined satellite (satellite not stabilised) I have to use a tracking to maintain the position.
But during one day the linear polarisation change also.
I need have information about relation between polarisation modification and movement of the satellite.

Tks

CAn I am asume this is orbiting? If it is moving, the charistics of the polarization change proportional to AZ/EL. Very rare will it be true HZ/Vert. Thin of the angle of incidence of the satellite adn its relation to your location. If you could see it, as it moves accross the sky, the angle you look at it would change.
This is effectively the polarization of the satellite and the antenna feed. It is difficult for ture tracking and optimized signal without a synchronized Polarization motor enable with your tracking system.
Or do you mean 'linear as in Az/el. If the satellite is orbiting, each consecutive path will be further west. A Geostationary is typicall a figure 8

Hope this helps
