GYRO STABILIZATION PLATFORM FOR SCANNING ANTENNA

摘要

A passive platform stabilization system is disclosed Which is suitable for antenna stabilization in maritime communication systems. The stabilization system of the present invention comprises a platform rotatable in a horizontal plane. At least two gyros are suspended from the platform by suspension means Which are rotatable about a vertical axis independent of the rotation of the platform in order to avoid undesirable torque components Which would result from precession of the gyros.
