Abstract

This paper provides a control algorithm for satellite antenna tracking. An adaptive control scheme is developed to achieve asymptotical convergence of antenna azimuth and elevation angles to desired ones by compensating for unknown disturbances. The performance of developed control scheme is analyzed in terms of satellite tracking profile (TPF), which is uploaded to satellite from ground station for pointing the satellite antenna. Specifically, it will be discussed whether the results of the control scheme are satisfactory in achieving the desired azimuth and elevation angles under given sampling period and control voltage.
