A Complete Performance Tests of an Analogue Sun Sensor with Improved Linearity, Variable Slit and Shutter Distance
Original language description
This work summarizes lessons learned gained after performing analysis of existing sun sensor parameters and measurement of a complete set of characteristics of an analogue sun sensor whose design allows changing width of its slit and the height of the slit over the sensing element. The width of the sensor slit and the slit distance from the sensing element has been changed and the sensing element performance was recorded. The article introduces a method of testing and equipment used to determine an optimal arrangement of the sun sensor, including sun light simulator. While the analogue sun sensor has non-linear characteristics, a method which improves sensor linearity is introduced. This method introduces different shapes of the sensing elements to cope with changing response of the solar cell modules. There were multiple shapes tested including sinusoidal and exponential shapes that were compared with commonly used linear arrangement. The article summarizes recommendations for the sen
