In order to tune the receiving system to the global maximum sensitivity, you first need to match the angle of exposure of the antenna with its angular opening (sometimes they say "angular aperture", although this is not correct, IMHO), and then precisely align the antenna to the satellite.
If the LNB is not in the geometric focus of the parabolic antenna, then we will adjust the antenna not by the true azimuth and elevation of the satellite, but by choosing the "best" position of the LNB around…
