International Science Community Association Research Journal of Engineering Sciences 2278 - 9472 5 11 2016 11 26 Performance Evaluation of Azimuth Position Control of a Giant Metre wave Radio Telescope in Matlab/Simulink using P and PD Controllers 1 8 EN Yadav Sagar 1 Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Bhilai Institute of Technology Durg, India Sharma Vinni 2 Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Bhilai Institute of Technology Durg, India > Research Article 2016 2 24 2016 11 26 The proposed work focuses on modelling and simulating a control system for azimuth position control of a Giant Metre wave Radio Telescope (GMRT) for turning the input commands into corresponding output positions. GMRTs are large parabolic dish antennas established by National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research) in India. The GMRT system has initially been modelled and evaluation of the system performance (using a reference step signal) has been done by using Proportional (P) and Proportional-Derivative (PD) controllers.
