Abstract

A compact frequency reuse communications antenna includes two superimposed structures, each including Kevlar honeycomb, fabric face skins on the honeycomb, and a reflector over one of the face skins, the two structures being spaced from one another by Kevlar ribs formed of honeycomb material. The directions in which the ribbons of the honeycomb cores of the superimposed structures extend, and the directions of the elements making up the reflector of the fabric warps are chosen to minimize thermal distortions and RF losses while providing high natural frequency and low weight.
