Статья: Coordinate support system of the automated control system of the antenna feed type 3 on RATAN-600: results of applying the coordinate search algorithm

In 2019, a new automatic control system (ACS) of the antenna feed type 3 was put into experimental and then into regular operation on the RATAN-600 radio telescope, which provided new opportunities for controlling the motion parameters of the antenna feed elements and, in general, allowed starting a series of methodological work on the implementation of a new observation mode with tracking of objects. To improve the quality of the tracking mode and implement the new automated observation modes, it is necessary to integrate a coordinate support system into the ACS of the antenna feed. The paper investigates approaches to solving the problem of automated coordinate support for the operation of the antenna feed type 3 on the RATAN-600 radio telescope.
