Abstract
A collapsible, steerable antenna system is configured for rapid deployment that is highly accurate and sophisticated, yet easy to assemble. The antenna system includes a pod mount assembly , a steering head controller assembly , a back frame , a dish assembly , a feed leg assembly , a horn mount assembly , and a horn assembly . The pod mount assembly includes a plurality of ground engaging pod legs and a telescopic shaft which lifts and supports the controller assembly . The controller assembly selectively engages with the back frame and aligns the dish assembly via the back frame . The back frame engages and supports the dish assembly to help minimize parametric distortion of the dish assembly . The dish assembly includes a plurality of wedge-shaped pieces which connect to form the dish assembly. The feed leg assembly includes a main feed leg and side feed legs. The horn mount assembly connects the horn assembly to the main feed leg. The horn assembly directs the transmission signal towards the dish assembly when sending a signal.
