Antenna Azimuth Controller Design
1.0 Title: Antenna Azimuth Position Control System 2.0 Objective: The objective, of the lab is to analyze and design a control system for the antenna azimuth position using MATLAB and SIMULINK. 3.0 Introduction: A position control system converts a position input command to a position output response. Position control finds widespread applications in antennas, robot arms, and computer disk drives. The radio telescope antenna in Fig. 1 is one example. The purpose of this system is to have the azimuth angle output follow the input angle. The input command is an angular displacement. The potentiometer converts the angular displacement into a voltage. Similarly, the output angular displacement is converted to a voltage by the potentiometer in the feedback path. The signal and power amplifiers boost the difference between the input and output voltages. This amplified actuating signal drives the plant. The system operates to drive the error to zero when the input and the output match, the error will be zero and the motor will not run.

By neglecting the dynamics of potentiometers the relationship between the output voltage and the input angular displacement is given by:
These quantities are substituted into the motor equation, yielding the transfer function of the motor from the armature voltage to the armature displacement. The gear ratio to arrive at the transfer function relating load displacement to armature voltage is;
From parameter values in Figure 3, design a controller consisting of P-I-D actions to improve the performance of the antenna system. The requirement is open which means that you should try to achieve as good as possible performance for transient, stability as well as signal tracking.

The maximum of Kp or Kcr/Ku is 2626.55 Substitute the value of Kp to the characteristic equation

5.0 Discussion After all of the analysis was completed the system was well understood and possible solutions have been presented above. For the standard system, it will unstable when K>2627.55. From my simulation, Ive use K=26 to achieve my target overshot for this system which is 10%. The overshoot that Ive for K=23.95 is 9.93% which is close to the target. For the PID Controller, the stability range of the system is quite similar to the standard system which is Kp below 2626.55. The target for PID Controller system also 10% and after to be tuned the value of Kp=72 is to be the best overshoot that for this system which is 13.57%. 6.0 Conclusion As a conclusion, it can be said that the value of gain could be change for the standard system and for the PID system. The value of K or preamplifier for the standard system is lowest than the PID system that need to be tune to achieve the target. So, it can be concluded that the objective of the project was achieved and successfully with the own requirement.
