This study presents a deterministic geospatial methodology for the alignment of directional television receiving antennas using publicly available broadcast-sector parameters. The proposed approach relies exclusively on geometric computations derived from user geolocation (WGS84 coordinates) and transmitter site information, including sector azimuth and beamwidth characteristics. By computing the geodesic bearing between receiver and transmitter locations, the method evaluates angular deviation relative to sector orientation and provides an interpretable alignment assessment framework. The methodology operates without requiring empirical signal measurements, propagation modeling, or machine-learning techniques, thereby ensuring transparency, reproducibility, and low computational complexity. The approach is particularly suitable for scenarios where line-of-sight conditions dominate signal propagation. Under such assumptions, the proposed framework offers a lightweight and explainable solution for antenna pointing and orientation guidance while explicitly acknowledging the limitations imposed by simplified geometric modeling.

It is well known that simulation tools are essential for the design and optimization of wireless communication systems. This paper proposes a Python script that can be used for planning and predicting a connection link budget by analyzing its basic parameters. Our proposal consists of an application that calculates the connection budget for point-to-point links operating at 5 GHz and 11 GHz, taking into account all the necessary microwave parameters. For validating the efficiency of the proposed tool, this paper presents comprehensive simulation results derived from comparing our tool to a couple of other simulation tools by means of calculating the same parameters.
