A MORE EFFICIENT TRACKING SYSTEM FOR THE SANTIAGO SATELLITE TRACKING STATION

ITC/USA 2007 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Third Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 22-25, 2007 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / A digital antenna control system has been designed and installed on a pedestal that was formerly
used to drive a VHF array and that has now been replaced with an 11 meter S-Band parabolic
reflector.
In this Paper, the former analog tracking system will be described, showing all the drawbacks
that made it unusable for S-Band. Subsequently, the development and implementation of the
digital S-Band tracking system, using Labview, C++ & digital control theory will be discussed.
Finally, there will be a comparison between the digital and analog system, too.
