Abstract:To address the question that the steady-state performance of conventional double-loop proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers was insufficient for the high precision beam alignment of laser communication, the control strategies for the coarse tracking servo control system of satellite-borne laser communication was investigated as the research object. Firstly, the operational principle of the coarse tracking servo control system was analyzed, and the transfer function model of the control system was established. Furthermore, in response to the limitations of the conventional double-loop PID control strategy, the causes of the tracking error in the coarse tracking mechanism were analyzed. Consequently, a coarse tracking servo composite control strategy based on the feedforward controller was proposed. Both simulation and experimental results demonstrate that this composite control strategy can effectively enhance the control performance of the system, significantly reduce its steady-state error, and well ensure the stability and continuity of the laser communication link.
