Dual Polarization Synthesis and Optimization of Cylindrical Offset Reflector Antenna for Cosecant-squared Radiation Pattern
This paper presents the shaping optimization of an S-band cylindrical offset reflector antenna with cosecant-squared radiation pattern in elevation plane. The cross section of the antenna is mathematically modeled by a polynomial function and optimized by the genetic algorithm to obtain the desired pattern for both TE and TM polarizations. The physical optics method together with the uniform th...
متن کاملUltra Thin Deployable Reflector Antennas
We have recently proposed a new concept for deployable reflectors consisting of a thin parabolic carbon-fibre-reinforced-plastic (CFRP) shell stiffened along the edge by an elastically collapsible stiffener. Here we show that a stiffener accounting for less than 10% of the total mass of the reflector increases the stiffness of the softest deformation mode of the deployed reflector by 48 times, ...
متن کاملLarge Aperture , Solid Surface Deployable Reflector
Composite Technology Development Inc. (CTD) is currently funded through the NASA Advanced Component Technology (ACT) program to develop an off-set fed, TEMBO continuous composite surface deployable reflector for earth science applications. This type of reflector will offer a parabolic surface with the accuracy needed for RF science measurements to Ka band and beyond, including a clean aperture ...
متن کاملTheoretical Analysis of Polarization Rotation angle in Dual Reflector Antenna
Because of special structure, a dual reflector antenna has beam rotation capability in azimuth and elevation directions. In this structure, the antenna beam can be placed in any point in the space by mechanical movement of twist reflector which it is the most important ability of the antenna. Due to the antenna structure, if the polarization of incident wave is linear, it is expected that the p...
متن کاملRapid Deployable Antenna Concept Selection for Cubesats
In this paper, we present a new graphical tool for the preliminary design of deployable CubeSat antennas aimed at coupling electromagnetic and structural antenna design. The proposed methodology predicts antenna performance characteristics using analytical expressions and compares them graphically against antenna geometric parameters. Such a technique allows the comparison and analysis of sever...
