    摘要: A tracking array antenna system is provided. When a signal from the target is received normally, control mode of an AZ axis and an electronic XEL axis is changed over according to whether or not a moving platform is inclined about the XEL axis for detecting inclination of the moving platform. When the moving platform is not inclined, beam-switch (BSW) about the electronic XEL axis is performed, and the beam-switch tracking (BST) about the AZ axis using the result with an angular rate feedback (ARFB) is performed. When the moving platform is inclined, zero rate control (ZRC) about the AZ axis and BST about the electronic XEL axis are performed. In this way, tracking and stabilization are performed without not only the gimbal-lock but also the use of a gyrocompass.

    摘要: In an apparatus for maintaining the orientation of an antenna system with respect to a beacon, radio signals are received in four quadrants and converted into sum and difference signals, which are transformed in frequency, amplified in an amplifier (6) and detected in a first- and second-phase detector (9, 15) present in a corresponding channel (7, 8) to derive error voltages in first and second time intervals respectively for aligning the antenna system with respect to the beacon. During the tracking mode of the apparatus, the difference and sum signals separately pass in first, second and third, fourth time intervals, respectively. a VCO (21) supplies two orthogonal signals as reference voltages, to the phase detectors. In the tracking mode the VCO driven by a signal derived from the signals obtained in the first channel (7) in the fourth time interval and in the second channel (8) in the third time interval. With a gain control circuit (27) the gain of the amplifier (6) is adjusted in response to signals obtained in the first and the second channels (7, 8) in the said third and fourth time intervals respectively in such a way that the output voltage of the first phase detector (9) in the third and first time interval and that of the second phase detector (15) in the fourth and second time interval are kept constant.

    摘要: A satellite communications system comprises signal tracking for a directional antenna by detecting any directional error of the antenna relative to a pilot station, or predetermined offset angle therefrom, to provide phase modulated error signals which are combined with frequency modulated pilot signals radiated by the pilot station in order to pass composite error and pilot signals through a single receive channel including a rotary joint coupler connecting a spinning section and a despun antenna section of a spin-stabilized satellite. Any directional error of the despun antenna about the spin axis of a spinning satellite results in sum and difference signals being produced in the receive feeds of the antenna wherein the magnitude of the difference signal is proportional to the angle of deviation of the antenna pointing direction and the pilot station. The difference signal is phase modulated in an over-coupled, doubletuned, directional filter and combined with the sum signal to produce a composite signal which exhibits amplitude modulation in synchronism with the frequency modulation of the sum signal. The amplitude modulation index is proportional to the difference signal and hence the directional error; and the phase of the amplitude modulation relative to the phase of the frequency modulation indicates the sign of the error. After passing through the rotary coupler, the envelope of the AM signal is detected and compared in a phase detector, with a reference signal derived from the FM of the composite signal. The output of the phase detector is the directional error signal which provides a tracking signal for controlling a despin motor to correct the error in pointing of the antenna.

    摘要: A combined electro-mechanical adaptive antenna tracking system for wireless communication between transmitters and receivers moving relative to each other is described. This system enables one or more antenna transceivers on a moving object, such as a high altitude unmanned aerial vehicle (HALE UAV), to simultaneously track one or more separate antenna transceivers on the ground, such as multiple customer premises equipment. The antennas on the moving object are constructed with multiple-subsection phased arrays or may have multiple horns on one rotation axis. Adaptive tracking control logic is applied to synchronize electrical switch and/or mechanical rotation and electrical beamforming for the moving transceivers to track multiple ground transceivers. In one advantageous aspect, an off-the-shelf horn antenna can be used and rotated around only one axis, thereby eliminating the need for expensive two dimensional movement actuators such as gimbals and the need for tracking multiple ground based receivers.
