Modelling Of the Stabilization and Tracking Control System for Antenna

Abstract: In order to speed up the data rate, the antennas are required to operate at higher radio frequencies. The increased frequency requires more precise antenna pointing system and the need of pointing control is to counter act the effect of external disturbances which includes wind gust, terrain profile etc. All these factors demand an embedded system engineer to design a more accurate antenna control system. This paper describes the control system engineering principles used in designing, testing and implementing, a control and measurement system on an antenna. The control system is modelled to monitor and control the antenna in elevation (Vertical axis) and azimuth (Horizontal axis). The system is also stabilized with the help of level sensor.
