Uniform-tension form-finding design for asymmetric cable-mesh deployable reflector antennas

Space antennas with high gain and high directivity are in great demand for future communication and observation applications. Deployable cable-mesh reflector antennas are required to be tensioned in a self-equilibrated state through form-finding design. In order to ensure the cable-mesh reflector an...
