Dynamic performance of several large antenna conceptsFour antenna concepts the box truss, tetrahedral truss, wrap-radial rib, and hoop and column antenna were examined for the dynamic performance when subjected to an operational environment. Space applications for the concepts are numerous; however, the land mobile satellite system (LMSS) was chosen as a baseline study and its operational constraints are applied to each concept. The dynamic response of each concept is examined for structural displacement and structural damping effects. The necessity of a control system for vibrational displacement reduction is examined along with a comparison of the relative merits of each antenna concept.
