The model of tracking the automatic signal strength of the system through the receiver antenna is one way to minimize the attenuation of the receiving signal through automatic antenna movement techniques based on information data input the value of the azimuth and elevation angle between the satellite and receiving antenna. The purpose of this research is to ensure the existence of satellite orbit trajectories, and the signal strength emitted will always be stable in each orbit position. While the method used in this research is field observation and design system with position of satellites as target objects tracking of the signal strength to designed device which located as a receiving antenna and tracker device. Analysis and measurements results showed that all satellite targets tracked resulting in a minimum to maximum angle of azimuth and elevation have percentage errors 0.52% - 4,02% and 0.25% - 3,99% when detecting NSS6 while when detecting Palapa D the value minimum to maximum percentage errors were 0,6% and 4.67% with a tolerance of directing angle to satellite < 2° according ITU-R recommendations. The conclusion is that satellite objects can be tracked the position of the orbit by looking the level of strong consistence of the received signal quite well based on the results of small angle error detection.
