The invention discloses a
system for detecting phase centers of GPS (
global positioning system) antennas by the aid of
continuous rotation processes. The
system comprises a base, a rotary table and a
control unit. The rotary table comprises a support rod, a
cantilever support plate, a rotary support bearing, a driven gear and a
GPS antenna connecting rod; a
stepper motor is fixed to a
cantilever end of the
cantilever support plate, a driving gear which meshes with the driven gear is arranged on an output shaft of the
stepper motor, the
stepper motor is connected with an
encoder, and the
encoder is used for feeding back rotation angles of the
stepper motor; the
control unit comprises a man-
machine interaction module, a GPS time
service module and a motor driver which are connected with a
single chip microcomputer controller. The
single chip microcomputer controller is connected with the
encoder and is used for receiving rotation angle information of the motor, and the rotation angle information of the motor is fed by the encoder, so that closed-
loop control can be carried out on the
GPS antenna connecting rod. The
system has the advantages that pointing directions of the antennas can be accurately changed by the system, and accordingly influence of observation errors such as multi-path effects can be effectively reduced; detection results are accurate, data are real, and the system is high in practicality.
