Abstract

PURPOSE:To deciding on the initial position and rotational direction of the azimuth elevation antenna within it movement range and whether its tracking is allowed or not in response to detected information, and to improve the reliability of the decision making by detecting direction information and meridian pass information at the path start of an artificial satellite. CONSTITUTION:It is decided whether the azimuth angle at the pass start of the artificial satellite is in the 1st or 2nd quadrant of the operation range of the azimuth elevation antenna. Then when the azimuth angle is in the 1st or 2nd quadrant, it is decided whether the path passes through the meridian or not on the basis of information from a flight detection system. When not, either of CW and CCW controls a tracking controller. When the path passes through the meridian, a decision on the pass pattern is made. Further, when the movement range is in the 3rd or 4th quadrant, the azimuth angle and pass pattern are detected similarly. Then, the initial position and rotational direction within the movement range of the azimuth elevation antenna and whether its tracking is allowed or not are decided precisely at a high speed in response to the detected azimuth angle and pass pattern information.
