ABSTRACT:
A metallic mesh, and a method for its manufacture, for use in making antenna dishes to operate in space at frequencies above 10 GHz. The mesh is formed by making a mesh pattern, photolithographically transferring the pattern onto a sheet of photo-resist coated metal foil, exposing the photo-resist, and then etching the foil. The strands of the mesh have a periodically repeating curved shape to provide a low spring constant resistant to the effects of large temperature changes.
