DEPLOYABLE SATELLITE REFLECTOR WITH A LOW PASSIVE INTERMODULATION DESIGN

摘要

A passive intermodulation modulation reducing structure for a multicarrier reflector system, including a plurality of flexible reflector gores, each gore having a thin layer of conductive metal, a first layer of dielectric material laminated to one face of the conductive metal, and a second layer of dielectric material laminated to an opposite face of the conductive metal. Capacitive coupling joins the reflector's RF components. The structure can be a deployable parabolic reflector for a satellite antenna.
