Anti-windup PI controller for millimeter-wave adaptive optics: a Nobeyama 45 m radio telescope simulation

Abstract

This work addresses the control problem for Millimeter-wave Adaptive Optics (MAO), which we define as compensating for the distance variation between the primary reflector (M1) and the receiver. We utilize a measurement system developed by Tamura et al. to track these variations. The challenge is formalized as an asymptotic constant disturbance suppression problem. We demonstrate that an anti-windup proportional-integral (AWPI) controller effectively solves this problem while respecting the physical movement constraints of the optical driving system. Simulation results, based on the Nobeyama 45-m Telescope with a two-axis translating sub-reflector (M2), validate the performance of the proposed AWPI approach.
