Design optimization of the 34-meter DSN-NCP antennasThe new NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) 34-m-diameter azimuth-elevation (Az-El) antenna structure is an example of an essentially computer-automated design. In addition to pivotal comptuer Lagrange multiplier design optimization software, much of the associated pre- and post-processing was also performed by computer. The construction of one of these antennas at Goldstone, California, is well advanced and will be completed this summer. A second installation is in progress in Australia. Both atennas will be used primarily for spacecraft tracking and will operate in the 8.5-GHz, 3.5-cm (1.4-in.) wavelength microwave frequency.
