ABSTRACT:
An antenna reflector structure of the offset-fed type which is suitable for use on spacecraft. The reflector structure includes a central boom, a number of spaced ribs on the boom, an RF reflective mesh layer adjacent to the outer, transverse peripheral edges of the ribs, and contoured angle members for securing the mesh layer to the ribs to provide a specific contour for the reflector surface defined by the mesh layer. The boom can be of one-piece construction or formed from telescoped segments. The reflector structure is deployable and furlable. Several embodiments of the reflector structure are disclosed.
