18. A method of controlling an antenna comprising a main reflector and a waveguide, the method comprising, by a processor and memory circuitry:
obtaining data Dbeam informative of a required beam direction of electromagnetic radiations to be received or transmitted by the antenna;
obtaining data Dmotion informative of a displacement of the antenna; and
determining a displacement Dcorrective for at least part of the waveguide using Dmotion and Dbeam, for which a beam direction of electromagnetic radiations received or transmitted by the antenna, after said displacement Dcorrective of said at least part of the waveguide, matches the required beam direction according to a matching criterion.
