ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION OF THE ANTENNA CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THE SPACE RADIO SYSTEMS FACILITY,

Abstract

A design, analysis, and simulation of a hydraulic antenna-positioning control system for the millimeter wave antenna of Space Radio Systems Facility is presented. The design and analysis are based upon linearized models of the components to be used for the proposed system. An analog simulation, performed to verify the design and analysis, to investigate relative signal levels, and to determine the effects of wind disturbances and non-linearities, is described. It is shown that a system of this type can be designed to give satisfactory performance in the presence of expected nonlinearities and wind disturbances. (Author)
