Abstract:
This device is an advanced equipment used to control WT-1 receiving antenna to track satellite signals automatically.Its main parts consist of:a single-board microcomputer containing an expansion I/o interface, an 8-Bit A/D converter with 16 channels, a CRT display in addition to a graphic-control module, two angle transfer parts of the antenna, as well as some application programmes with versatile function.The functions are as follows:The equipment can carry out time-counting, and move the antenna to the predetermined primary position to pick up the signals. The system can control the antenna to track satellite signals automatically. CRT displays various parameters and graphics in real-time, such as current time, present position of the antenna,flying track of the nadirs of satellites, the pan disk-graphic of the receiving scope of the ground station along with geographic landimarks.
