Zusammenfassung:	A single surface reflector antenna and method for making same comprises a plurality of hat-shaped cross section ribs formed on the back surface of a reflector shell with flexible tooling. All antenna shell and backing structure components are comprised of triaxial weave graphite laminate layers thereby allowing the backing structure to conform precisely to the shape of the antenna shell when cured and heat cycled.
