Abstract

Abstract:
This paper presents an investigation into the optimal design of a robust controller for an
antenna tracking system. Evolutionary Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to design
controllers for an airport radar antenna pointed towards an air plane to track its
movement. This is achieved by minimizing the error between the over all candidate
system and the ideal one according to limited specifications. Finally, the merits of the
candidate controller for an antenna tracking system is presented and discussed through a
set of experiment.
