Diffraction Analysis of Mesh Deployable Reflector AntennasA formulation and many representative numerical results for mesh reflector antennas are presented. The reflection coefficient matrix for the prescribed mesh configuration was determined and the local coordinate system of the mesh cells at each point on the curved reflector surface was accentuated. A novel strip aperture model was used to formulate the transmission coefficient matrix for a variety of mesh cell configurations. Numerical data are tailored to the dimensions of a conceptually designed land mobile satellite system (LMSS) which employs a large mesh deployable offset parabolic antenna. Results are shown for an offset parabolic reflector with mesh surfaces similar to the mesh surface of tracking and data relay satellite system (TDRSS).
