Diseño e implementación de un sistema de control en alineación de una antena MikroTik mANT30, para mejorar la comunicación de un radioenlace utilizando un GPS (Sistema de Posicionamiento Global) y un magnetómetro en la empresa Sisteldata S.A.

Abstract

An automatic control system was performed in alignment of a Mikrotik Mant 30 antenna to improve communication in a radio link at the company Sisteldata S.A, located in the city of Ambato. For the implementation of the titling work a link budget was made taking into account climatic factors that lead to the misalignment of the antennas, to develop the automatic control there was implemented a power interface controlled by the Arduino Mega 2560 module that will serve to control the servomotors, thus achieving the movement of the same, both in azimuth and elevation, with the help of a GPS (Global Positioning System) to show the coordinates of the positioning of the antennas so much broadcasting station located in the parish of Pinllo and receiver located in the Pelileo canton (Cerro Nitón), Tungurahua province, with these information one will proceed to perform the coordinates difference and calculate the angles so much azimuth as elevation in addition the magnetometer will measure the angle of position of the antenna and also it will help to give a greater accuracy and stability of the system. In this way, an optimization of resources and time is achieved when the installation of the radio link is carried out. In order to check the improvements in the system, we performed communication tests such as latency in which an improvement in signal level (dbm) and system performance can be evidenced, in addition a comparison will be implemented by implementing the radio link manually and automatically, for the visualization and monitoring of the system, a web server with a friendly interface was performed, controlling the servomotors and observing parameters regarding the geographic position of the antennas obtaining also an easy handling of the same one, for a better understanding of the system, a technical manual was also developed which will help the technicians when installing the system.
