Abstract :
The main reflector of a deployable antenna for space-use is approximated by many facets, or ruled surfaces. As the measurement should be pursued in doors, the near-field (NF) measurement is a promising tool. This paper describes the NF measurement results of a model antenna with a facet-approximated reflector.
