Design and optimization of a solid-surface deployable antenna based on ADAMS

Deployable solid-surface reflector antenna is widely used in space observation andcommunication tasks because of its high surface accuracy. In order to further develop the packageperformance, the design explore function of software ADAMS is employed to carry out the parameteroptimal study of the mechanism design for a kind of petal-type deployable solid-surface reflector structure.Based on the biaxial petal-type deployable solid-surface reflector, the package ratio of this deployablestructure is optimized to 0.32 and the design is generated for the uniaxial petal-type deployable solid-surfacereflector. The influence and parameter optimal analyses of the revolute axis position and the consolidationpoint position of the supporting bar and the petal on the reflector surface accuracy is studied. This paper hasa great reference value for the design and analysis of this kind of deployed solid-surface antennas.
