Abstract

The AGC of a conical scan tracking radar IF amplifier is designed using H_x synthesis. It is shown that this technique is particularly suited for this problem because of its loop shaping capabilities and because it can tackle particular frequencies effectively, providing a correct balance among closed loop stability, fast responses to echo changes and rejection of frequencies other than the echo modulation. Two controllers are implemented and compared to a standard controller, showing significant improvement in system tracking.
