This work describes the implementation of a satellite tracking technique in a real antenna control system. The technique uses least squares estimation to search for the best antenna pointing position to receive the satellite beacon signal tracked in the 2D region created by the motion axes. The work also presents the technique implementation results in the real system to prove its operation with the beacon signal intensity and the orbit obtained with the search over time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
