STUDY OF ANTENNA AXIS CONFIGURATIONS FOR SATELLITE TRACKING AND CONTINUED STUDY OF TRANSPORTABLE ANTENNA SYSTEMS.

Abstract

The preliminary design of a 60-foot differential satellite tracking antenna is covered; advantages and disadvantages are discussed, supported by layouts, diagrams, servo block diagrams and other data. A feasibility study of the fullcoverage cable-driven antenna known as ball-joint mount is included. Covered are characteristics, sketches, pictures, servo analysis and other material which describe the advantages and problems of the ball-joint mount. Also included is treatment of power drive design, with the emphasis on low-velocity drives. (Author)
