Pointing and tracking servo for the Haystack auxiliary antenna (HAX)

Pointing and tracking servo for the Haystack auxiliary antenna (HAX)

An overview of the servo design for a 40-ft-diameter radar dish two-axis mount is presented. Several fundamental upgrades were implemented, including a four-quadrant six-pulse phase control rectifier power amplifier system, a microcontroller-based maintenance chassis, a high-resolution encoding syst...
