Abstract

Satellite communication is very vital for the high speed communication. In order to communicate with satellite efficiently proper tracking is required by an antenna. The status of the antenna can be obtained from switching between the two different encoders giving data of two different quantities – Angular and Elevation and displayed on LCD, transmitted to a PC and also available for processing. This data can be further used to change the antenna positions to required state by rotating motors and again fetching the data. Thus, a whole control system can be made. The system consists of a two ATmega16 microcontrollers and several other ICs. It has been noted that this system performs satisfactorily and provides necessary variations and has easy switching characteristics.
