Abstract
In the near future, JPL will create spacecraft/transmitters that are smaller in size to reduce mission costs significantly. However, a smaller spacecraft transmitter/dish creates a signal that is smaller in wavelength. The Earth-based 70-m downlink antenna cannot track smaller wavelengths, unless improvements are made to the current servo system. A study is conducted to define some 70-m antenna servo system parameters that will allow improvements in its tracking response for smaller targets.
