Design and Simulation of an Automatic Positioning System for Antennas Installed on Ships

Article Preview

Abstract:

Due to the advancement of technology, war or civil ships are carrying more and more antennas and sensors, both for entertainment (TV antennas) as well as for everyday tasks (navigation radar antennas, positioning, arms and communication). This article describes a proposal for a digital control system aiming the positioning of a digital TV antenna mounted on a ship. In this case, beside the electrical signal of usual sensors, the data provided by a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver are utilized to design the control system. Simulation results confirm the feasibility of this approach.
