Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of satellite communication antennas, in particular to a four-point tracking algorithm for a VICTS antenna. Background technique [0002] VICTS (Variable Tilt Angle Continuous Section Array) antenna is a new type of low-profile antenna. The antenna rotates through the one-dimensional plane of each functional layer to realize the adjustment and matching of beam azimuth, elevation two-dimensional scanning and polarization angle. The antenna feed is simple, the longitudinal section of the whole machine is low, it has the characteristics of high gain, flexible beam scanning, high mobility, etc., and has broad application prospects in the field of satellite mobile communication. [0003] The beam of the satellite-in-motion antenna will always deviate from the target direction when the carrier is moving. At this time, a tracking algorithm is needed to adjust the beam to the direction of the satellite. The traditio...
