  • Patent number: 10020575
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling stabilization of a satellite-tracking antenna, the apparatus including: an antenna driving unit driving the antenna to track a satellite based on preset satellite position information and position information collected by an inertia sensor and an encoder; a point detecting unit detecting a point where an amplitude of a satellite reception signal is maximum; an elevation measuring unit measuring an elevation value corresponding to the point; and a controller controlling an azimuth motor and an elevation motor to enable the antenna to face the point, when the measured value is out of a first range, the controller controlling the azimuth motor to have an azimuth value corresponding to the point and controlling the elevation motor to have an elevation value less than the measured value corresponding to the point, when the measured value is in the first range.

  • Patent number: 9502763
    Abstract: A stabilization control method for a satellite tracking antenna disclosed herein includes outputting a monopulse signal and a gyro signal through a satellite tracking antenna having a gyro mounted thereto, under a situation that disturbance is applied to the satellite tracking antenna, inputting the output monopulse signal and gyro signal into a Kalman filter for stabilization of the satellite tracking antenna, defining a state vector of the Kalman filter based on a pointing-error angle for the satellite tracking, corresponding to the monopulse signal, and a pointing-error angular velocity for the satellite tracking, corresponding to the gyro signal, predicting an original monopulse signal corresponding to a state prior to distortion of the monopulse signal based on the defined state vector, and continuously updating the prediction of the original monopulse signal, and carrying out the stabilization control for the satellite tracking antenna by using the predicted original monopulse signal as a pointing-error
