Abstract :
Describes an on-board shape control method and control results for a mesh antenna reflector of 4 mφ that is formed on a folding truss structure. Antenna patterns calculated using experimental data are also shown and the effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed from the restoration of antenna gain and pointing direction
