Abstract
Fast steering mirrors (FSMs), actuated by piezoelectric ceramics, play pivotal roles in satellite laser communication, distinguished by their high bandwidth and fast responsiveness, thereby facilitating the precise pointing and robust tracking of laser beams. However, the dynamic performance of FSMs is notably impaired by the hysteresis nonlinearity inherent in piezoelectric ceramics. Under dynamic conditions, rate-dependent hysteresis models and Hammerstein models are predominantly employed to characterize hysteresis nonlinearity. By combining the advantages of these two models, a hysteresis model termed modified Hammerstein-like (MHL) model is proposed. This model integrates an input time delay, a rate-dependent hysteresis term, and a linear dynamic term in a cascaded structure, effectively capturing the dynamic characteristics of hysteresis systems across a broad frequency range. Additionally, a composite control strategy is tailored for the MHL model which consists of a feedforward compensator based on a rate-dependent hysteresis inverse model and a proportional-integral (PI) controller for closed-loop regulation. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modeling and composite control methods.
