Design of a Deformed Flat Plate to Compensate the Gain Loss Due to the Gravity-Induced Surface Distortion of Large Reflector Antennas
This paper presents a novel design of a deformed flat plate, wherein known amounts of distortion are introduced in a compensating flat plate, to recover the gain-loss due to the gravity-induced surface deformations of a large reflector antenna.
