Shape measurement of parabolic antenna using total station TCRA1102

Non-reflective prism total station with its accurate, rapid and flexible features, has been widely used in many project. This article takes Leica TCRA1102 total station as the main study object, its main content includes: Investigate the main function and the application method of TCRA1102 total station; Complete the test the precision of reflectorless observation technology;This foundation gets the 3D-data of paraboloid antenna by total station. Processing data and modelling by AutoCAD and 3DS Max, and check its shape with mathematic model as well. Because there is not corresponding identification method for the non-reflective prism total station, and Leica TCRA1102 Total Station has a significant advantage in the function of measuring objects which the prim is not easily placed, the purpose of this paper is to work on these two areas.
