Abstract :
This paper presents the design of a dichroic mirror, operating in the S-, X-, and Kaband, intended for a 35 m beam-waveguide antenna for deep space observation. The design of this structure is particularly challenging, due to the large dimensions and the tight electrical constraints. Three structures have been investigated, both from the electrical and the mechanical point of view, and the simulation results are reported. Prototypes are also presented.
