Abstract
Isostatic deployable support structure for antenna reflectors for vehicles characterized in that it is constituted by six supports hinged to each of their ends in three points on the structure of the vehicle and in three points on the structure of the reflector, in which: —two out of the three points of hinging on the structure of the reflector are positioned in points that are diametrically symmetrical with respect to the plane of symmetry of the antenna optics, and the third one is positioned on the plane of symmetry of the antenna optics, at the end of the reflector that is closer to the illumination system of the reflector; —two out the three points of hinging on the structure of the vehicle are positioned in points that are symmetrical with respect to the plane of symmetry of the antenna optics, as distant as possible, in the area between the reflector and the illumination system, and the third one is positioned on the plane of symmetry of the antenna optics, above the side of the illumination system that is farther from the reflector, such that the position and the orientation of the reflector relative to the vehicle depends on the length of the 6 supports.
