Antenna Azimuth Position Control System Model

The antenna azimuth position control system is one of the fundamental components of modern telecommunication systems including satellites, radar systems and space robots. Accurate and precise azimuth positioning of an antenna is necessary for optimum performance of these practical systems. This has attracted interest of many researchers in the field of control systems, [1,2]. The figure 1 below shows layout of a typical antenna azimuth position control system. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the system schematic and block diagrams respectively. Detail description of each sub-components can be read from literature [1,2]. The goal is to design appropriate controller with azimuth positioning with less possible positioning error, overshoot, settling time and chattering.
