The invention discloses a tilting mirror vibration suppression method based on an improved disturbance observer. Since mechanical vibrations of an astronomical telescope make the closed-loop performance of a telescope control system decline and these vibrations cannot be well remedied by a classical control structure, the method adopts a tilting mirror to suppress the vibrations. According to themethod, by designing an improved Q filter., a sensitivity function of a tilting mirror control system is optimized, the large-amplitude vibrations are effectively suppressed, and the influence of a water bed effect on the system performance is reduced. Under the case that the system disturbance frequency is known, the control method can achieve optimal correction, and the disturbance suppression capability of the system is effectively improved. According to the method, the system is optimized from a control algorithm, only one image sensor is needed, and the cost is saved. At the same time, the method is clear, the structure is simple, there is no dependence on models, and the method is easy to operate and implement.
