Compensating Function for Antenna Pointing

Abstract

Mean-square errors of antenna surface reduced. Compensating function helps point deformable antenna without inducing excessive pointing oscillations or deformations of reflecting surface. When implemented on computer in real time, function enables calculation of control signals in response to several sensor inputs: Function devised so signals control torque actuator of antenna-pointing mechanism in way to reduce or minimize squares of errors of antenna surface over long time.
