Foldable reflector pallet and method of deploying a foldable reflector pallet

Abstract

A foldable reflector pallet for reflecting a radio frequency (RF) signal, a method of deploying the foldable reflector pallet, and a method of stowing the foldable reflector pallet are provided. The foldable reflector pallet has a smaller footprint when stowed than when deployed and includes first and second reflectors each including a respective reflective surface, for reflecting the RF signal in a deployed configuration, disposed opposite a respective backing, the first and second reflectors mutually attached by a permanent connector, and at least one temporary connector mounted to a stowing surface for detachably connecting to the first and/or second reflector in a stowed configuration. The first and second reflectors are configured to selectively move between the deployed configuration, in which the first and second reflectors are not folded about the permanent connector, and the stowed configuration, in which the first and second reflectors are folded about the permanent connector.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
