Composite Segmented Reflector Antenna for Satellite Communication Systems (Air Force)

Abstract

Test a light-weight, compact, durable, segmented composite antenna reflector for use in small aperture man-pack satellite communications and other systems, within the X, Ka, and Ku frequency bands. The primary outputs are weight reduction, size reduction, and increased transport advantages over the currently available metallic and coated composite antenna reflectors.
