Abstract
Antenna control system (ACS)[1] is a very critical sub-system of the flight inspection system(FIS)[2][3], which controls the RF routes switching in the front of the FIS system. In this paper, an ACS system used in FIS system is introduced. The ACS system use the ACS controller, which is designed based on freescale 16-bit microcontroller MC9S12XDP512, to receive the control command the host computer through RS232 serial interface, and then it controls the microwave switches installed in the switch matrix to finally switch the RF routes. Functions like logic interlocks, operation protection are also performed by the ACS controller on different flight inspection operations to make sure no damage would occur in the inspection operations.
