LAYOUT OPTIMIZATION OF LARGE FLEXIBLE DEPLOYED ANTENNA

Based on a new flexible cable net for a deployable antenna, the optimum design of cable system is discussed in the paper. An optimum design model is presented, searching for minimum weight design while the constraints such as reflector precision is concerned. The design parameters are selected as the number of upper cable, lower cable and adjustable cable. Through a numerical example, the model above is tested and verified to be correct and effective.
