ABSTRACT:
A lightweight support structure for electromagnetic and light reflectors including at least two rigid compression rings of any diametrical ratio held vertically spaced and parallel by a plurality of rigid vertically extending peripheral columns and two or more flexible cable sets vertically spaced and parallel with the compression rings. Nodes or junctures on the cable sets are adapted to remain fixed in space with respect to the compression rings by a series of tangential and radial cables and thus support rigid vertical internal columns which in turn support the reflector. The internal rigid columns may progressively increase in height from a central hub to the outermost periphery of the compression rings for supporting a reflector dish of parabolic configuration.
