Abstract

Technical Universities in Iraq have communication laboratories as part of their curriculum, however, most of them suffer great shortage in models. One of the important models is Antennal direction control (position finder). In this paper, a proposed system is presented that interacts with the receiver antenna opposite the transmitter antenna through a designed mediator unit to set the optional position points. The receiver antenna is rolled around and spent backwards (clock- anti – clockwise) until it arrives at the best received position and stabilizes. The system is designed with high feasibility to its reliability with the use of software processes. The direction of the antenna has been achieved using a software process and a technique dependent on the optional point position detection approach to trace the received signals. In his method, the IF-AGC signal of the set has been used for the first instance as a sensing signal for the image quality and then will be possible to apply the set directly without any adjustment. In addition, the Arduino has been employed for Antenna movement and to reverse the direction of orientation, the system can be named as a helpmate and antenna pointer.
