Missile seeker gimbal feedforward testbed
The Feedforward Testbed program was a demonstration project to develop a mirror-stabilized beam-steering mechanism for use in small missiles. Missile seekers are generally a gyroscope stabilized gimbal...
View ArticleLow profile antenna stabilization design
Innovative RF designs allow for beam steering over a large field of regard in a package that is low profile compared to a classic two-axis stabilized gimbal.The Low Profile Antenna program demonstrated...
View ArticleSatellite in-the-loop test of stabilized antennas
Stabilized gimbal performance is often tricky to measure. Characterizing pointing accuracy of the transmit and receive beams for RF systems on a mobile platform is notoriously difficult. In an effort...
View ArticleStructural resonance in stabilized gimbal control
Structural torsional resonances often limit the closed-loop bandwidth for large and mid-sized stabilized gimbals, but many more subtle structural effects can cause instability or impact performance.IJK...
