Abstract

"This paper proposes to implement the Automatic Antenna Tracking system in order to establish communication with Low Earth Orbit(LEO) Satellites.It is often necessary to watch the satellite in real time as it passes through the coordinates of the ground station. The embedded systems architecture should be implemented in such a way that the antenna is compatible with the satellite's positioning and traversal in space in order to detect the signals effectively .so, satellite tracking is necessary. The embedded device is programmed to detect the satellite at the start of the traversal at the location of the ground station and also alignment of the antenna. As the antenna stops receiving signals, it sends a signal to the device, which stops the stepper motor from moving.
