Parabolic antenna alignment system with Real-Time Angle Position FeedbackStevenPatrick17
Introduction
Parabolic antennas are a crucial component in many communication systems, including satellite communications, radio telescopes, and television broadcasting. Ensuring these antennas are properly aligned is vital for optimal performance and signal strength. A parabolic antenna alignment system, equipped with real-time angle position feedback and fault tracking, is designed to address this need. This document delves into the components, design, and implementation of such a system, highlighting its significance and applications.
Importance of Parabolic Antenna Alignment
The alignment of a parabolic antenna directly affects its performance. Even minor misalignments can lead to significant signal loss, which can degrade the quality of the received signal or cause communication failures. Proper alignment ensures that the antenna's focal point is accurately directed toward the signal source, maximizing the antenna's gain and efficiency. This precision is especially crucial in applications like satellite communications, where the antenna must track geostationary satellites with high accuracy.
Components of a Parabolic Antenna Alignment System
A parabolic antenna alignment system typically includes the following components:
Parabolic Dish: The primary reflector that collects and focuses incoming signals.
Feedhorn and Low Noise Block (LNB): Positioned at the dish's focal point to receive signals.
Stepper or Servo Motors: Adjust the azimuth (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) angles of the antenna.
Microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi): Processes sensor data and controls the motors.
Potentiometers: Provide feedback on the antenna's current angle positions.
Fault Detection Sensors: Monitor for potential faults such as cable discontinuities or LNB failures.
Control Software: Runs on the microcontroller, handling real-time processing and decision-making.
Real-Time Angle Position Feedback
Real-time feedback on the antenna's angle position is essential for maintaining precise alignment. This feedback is typically provided by potentiometers or rotary encoders, which continuously monitor the azimuth and elevation angles. The microcontroller reads this data and adjusts the motors accordingly to keep the antenna aligned with the signal source.
Fault Tracking in Antenna Alignment Systems
Fault tracking is vital for the reliability and performance of the antenna system. Common faults include cable discontinuities, LNB malfunctions, and motor failures. Sensors integrated into the system can detect these faults and either notify the user or initiate corrective actions automatically.
Design and Implementation
1. Parabolic Dish and Feedhorn
The parabolic dish is designed to reflect incoming signals to a focal point where the feedhorn and LNB are located. The dish's size and shape depend on the specific application and frequency range.
2. Motors and Position Control
Stepper motors or servo motors are used to control the azimuth and elevation of

3. PROJECT 1 – LAKEVIEW PLAZA
The Lakeview Plaza Multi-use High Rise Development Project is based on the progression
towards redeveloping many of the brownfield sites located in the southern areas of
Toronto. The site is located at Front St. and Princess St, an area rapidly becoming more
densely populated and requiring increased housing. Government grants offered for the
rehabilitation of brownfield sites make this an opportune time for projects of this type.
The aim is to provide much sought after condo housing while at the same time meeting the
need for cooperative housing created by low and single-income families living
downtown. The Lakeview Plaza design also includes a number of amenities including a
grocery store, doctor’s office and community centre.
The building makeup is a sheer wall core with a precast concrete structure. The design
incorporates green technologies such as intensive green roofs and passive daylighting
among other such components to ensure that the overall life cycle costing of the building is
not a drain.

6. PROJECT 2 – WARDEN LEA RETIREMENT MID RISE
Assisted living facilities continue to become a necessity in North America as baby
boomers are reaching retirement age. This project is designed to meet that need
and also meet the Canadian Green Building Council standards for LEED certification.
Both AutoCAD and REVIT programs were required to work through LEED credits and
create the virtual model that is the final product.
The original site for the development was a greenfield, and as such the design
endeavors to retain as much green space as possible. Green roofs and permeable
paving are utilized outside as well. The building is constructed of precast hollow-core
concrete, allowing for radiant heating through the building. Other sustainable
features like daylighting and low-flow fixtures can be found on the interior as well.

9. PROJECT 3 – MEADOWVALE SHEPPARD PUBLIC SCHOOL
EAST ENTRANCE
NORTH WEST STAIRWELL
Meadowvale Sheppard Public School is designed to accommodate the new
subdivision development just completed in that area. The design process was done
together with a partner in order to really be able to discuss different school design
strategies. There are a number of different ways a school can be designed based on
its location, orientation and student demographic. These decisions were made as a
team and then the construction drawing work was split between partners.
The primary focus of this school design was to begin understanding how building
placement, orientation, layout and construction materials are essential to design;
that each building must be designed true to its intended function in order to operate
in the most economic manner while still providing an attractive aesthetic. Cladding
materials were explored, different permeable paving options were discussed and
classroom layouts were chosen based on student psychology as well as job
costing. This project begins a foray into the psychology of architecture, rather than
simply focusing on the shape of a building.
While REVIT was used to achieve the final model, AutoCAD was utilized as well to
explode buildings and demonstrate how lighting would affect both the interior and
exterior of the building.
