In this thesis nonlinear control method techniques are investigated to control the attitude of Low Earth Orbit satellites. Nonlinear control methods are compared with linear control methods. Simulations are done using Matlab and Simulink software and BILSAT-1 parameters are used in the simulations. Reaction wheels are used as the actuator.

Development of a pc numerical system for high voltage sphere gap control
Kasap, Onur; Hızal, Mirzahan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, a high precision motion and position control system has been developed and applied to a high voltage sphere gap control and measurement system. The system is able to support up to 3-axes position and motion control. The control system includes a microcontroller card, three DC servo motor driver cards and a data storage unit. To provide communication between computer and motion control system, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is used. The microcontroller card is equipped with an USB interf...
Leo satellites: attitude determination and control components; some linear attitude control techniques
Kaplan, Ceren; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, application of linear control methods to control the attitude of a Low-Earth Orbit satellite is studied. Attitude control subsystem is first introduced by explaining attitude determination and control components in detail. Satellite dynamic equations are derived and linearized for controller design. Linear controller and linear quadratic regulator are chosen as controllers for attitude control. The actuators used for control are reaction wheels and magnetic torquers. MATLAB-SIMULINK program ...
MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes for inertial measurement units
Erişmiş, Mehmet Akif; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
This thesis reports the development of micromachined accelerometers and gyroscopes that can be used for micromachined inertial measurement units (IMUs). Micromachined IMUs started to appear in the market in the past decade as low cost, moderate performance alternative in many inertial applications including military, industrial, medical, and consumer applications. In the framework of this thesis, a number of accelerometers and gyroscopes have been developed in three different fabrication processes, and the ...
Evaluation of multi target tracking algorithms in the presence of clutter
Güner, Onur; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
This thesis describes the theoretical bases, implementation and testing of a multi target tracking approach in radar applications. The main concern in this thesis is the evaluation of the performance of tracking algorithms in the presence of false alarms due to clutter. Multi target tracking algorithms are composed of three main parts: track initiation, data association and estimation. Two methods are proposed for track initiation in this work. First one is the track score function followed by a threshold c...
