ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for forming an antenna reflector panel to a desired shape. The apparatus includes a plate having a plurality of threaded holes, wherein a threaded stud is located in each one of the plurality of threaded holes. The tops of the threaded studs define the desired antenna panel contour. Two metal sheets with a honeycomb structure between them are urged against the stud tops by enclosing the fixture and drawing a vacuum therein. After the metal sheets and honeycomb structure have been held in the desired contour for a predetermined time the vacuum is released. The sheet and honeycomb structure are now permanently deformed into the desired shape.
