GAIN SCHEDULING CONTROLLER DESIGN FOR ENGINEERING TEST SATELLITE-VIII

Abstract In this paper a new design method of a gain scheduling controller is described and a design procedure for Engineering Test Satellite (ETS)-VIII is explained. The derived gains are easy to be scheduled since the scheduling law consists of small number of grid points and requires just linear interpolation calculation. Using this method, stability and performance are guaranteed at each parameter value (paddle angle in this case). Some simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of our controller.
