(Predictive Control of Earth Station Antenna ( XY Pedestal

In this paper control of the xy pedestal axes has been studied which is a two degrees of freedom earth station antenna of pedestal HDF family group (High Dynamic Full Motion Leo Satellite Tracking Pedestals). This system model is achieved by using the Dymola software that according to the comparisons which have been done is very close to the actual system model and has very high accuracy. Purpose: is to track a LEO orbit satellite that of passing satellites and angles related to the antenna have been extracted path from KNTUSAT software. In carried out simulation, the operation of PI controller has been optimized, MPC and GPC has been studied. The results of comparison between simulation methods show that predictive controller has had fewer errors in satellite tracking and has been shown less control effort and also has had good behavior in disturbance rejection
