Position-rate control for the time delay control system of tip-tilt mirror

In the image-based tip-tilt mirror control system, the closed-loop performance and bandwidth of the system and are limited due to the influence of sensor sampling frequency and system delay. Under the condition of limited bandwidth, this paper proposes to use linear encoder to measure the position, and get the rate signal by differ-ence. The position-rate feedback control based on the image sensor system is realized to improve the error sup-pression ability of the tip-tilt mirror control system. Because of the addition of rate feedback, the control system has differential characteristics. When the rate feedback closed-loop is completed, the image position loop has integral characteristic. At this time, a PI controller is used to stabilize the system, which makes the system rise from zero type to two type system, and improves the error suppression ability of the system. Simulation and experiment show that this method can effectively improve the closed-loop performance of the tracking control system in low frequency domain.
