ABSTRACT:
An apparatus providing a post-fabrication shapable antenna reflector panel. Several such shapable antenna reflector panels can be arranged to form a complete antenna reflector. Each panel includes a panel skin and a rigid frame member, with adjustable supports interposed therebetween. The adjustable supports, which are rods having a threaded portion with lock nuts threadably engaged thereon, are attached to the back side of the panel skin and placed within holes in the frame. With one lock nut located above and another located below the frame holes, the panel skin can be held securely in position by urging each lock nut against the frame. The panel skin can also be adjusted by appropriately releasing, moving, and then retightening the lock nuts. The adjustable supports are arranged in a matrix pattern so that the shape of the panel skin can be adjusted in a uniform manner.
