Systems and methods for mitigating disturbances in a dual gridded reflector antenna

摘要

Methods and systems for mitigating disturbances in a dual gridded reflector antenna are provided. An antenna system that includes a first reflective surface, a second reflective surface, and an intercostal ring is provided. The intercostal ring is configured to connect the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface. A baffle is disposed between the intercostal ring and a path of the electromagnetic waves. The baffle is configured to redirect the electromagnetic waves away from the intercostal ring. Alternatively, the baffle is not present, and the intercostal ring is configured to redirect a perturbed portion of an electromagnetic wave away from wave paths of electromagnetic waves reflected by the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface, respectively.

1. An antenna system comprising:
a first reflective surface; a second reflective surface; an intercostal ring configured to connect the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface; and a baffle disposed between the intercostal ring and a source of an electromagnetic wave, wherein the baffle is configured to redirect the electromagnetic wave away from the intercostal ring, and wherein the baffle contacts the first reflective surface.
