According to the pixel deviation of the target relative to the target on the image at this moment, a two-dimensional difference is calculated and the difference is sent to the target antenna attitude control system for processing. The rotation of the pan-tilt servo is controlled by solving the attitude deviation, so that the target signal is aligned with the target in real time, and then the attitude is calibrated according to the gyroscope, thereby simulating the real-time tracking mode of the radar. In addition, the pan-tilt servo can be rotated to a specific angle by wireless remote control of the button, so as to control the deflection direction of the target signal antenna, simulating the radar scanning mode under different conditions. Due to the existence of certain environmental disturbance factors, the PID control algorithm is used to stabilize the target pan-tilt. In addition, the laser rangefinder carried by the pan-tilt can send the distance information of the target to the ground data receiving end in real time, and the laser indication light source can assist in indicating the target, and the radiation intensity, modulation mode, frequency and other information of the target signal are combined to evaluate the monitoring and analysis ability of the equipment to the target signal during the training process.
