Electrostatically Actuated X-Band Mesh Reflector with Bend-Formed Support Structure

Increasing the size of radio frequency (RF) reflectors in space can enhance gain and spatial resolution in applications such as space-based communication and remote sensing. The size of current passive deployable reflectors is limited by a tradeoff between diameter and surface precision, which cause...
