Abstract
A deployable reflectarray antenna includes a plurality of reflectarray antenna panels each having one edge connected to be folded and unfolded. Each reflectarray antenna panel includes a membrane having reflecting elements and a support frame. The support frame includes outer frames surrounding edges of the membrane, and a plurality of reinforcing members disposed in a vertical direction between the outer frames in a length direction.
Claims8
A deployable reflectarray antenna comprising
- a plurality of reflectarray antenna panels, each configured to have one edge connected to an adjacent reflectarray antenna panel so as to form a pair with the adjacent reflectarray antenna panel and to be folded with the adjacent reflectarray antenna panel while having a front surface facing a front surface of the adjacent reflectarray antenna panel,
- wherein each of the plurality of reflectarray antenna panels includes:
- a membrane;
- reflecting elements arranged on a front side of the membrane;
- and
- a support frame configured to support the membrane.
