Abstract
In order to improve the communication efficiency between beacon antennas of flight recorder and the synchronous satellite, a beacon antenna controller based on synchronous satellite has been designed. The optimal communication antenna selection is realized by calculating the angle between the aircraft and the synchronous satellite using Global Positioning System (GPS) position information and flight attitude. The simulation and experimental results show that reliable automatic switch of the antenna can be realized by the antenna controller which can accurately calculate the angle between the aircraft and the satellite after receiving the position and posture information.
