Development and Evaluation of Least Square Satellite Tracking in Real Antenna Control System

Abstract

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.
