This paper presents a robust and efficient way of tuning PID controller using different variants of differential evolution (DE) algorithms for antenna positioning system. 20 DE variants were implemented out of which DE/rand/1/bin appear to be more promising in addressing this problem with peak overshot of 0.0052, rise time of 0.01sec, and settling time of 0.01sec. This has an overall cost or objective fitness function of 0.0162. The second best optimizer is DE/best/1/exp.
