Description
Kitae Park and others modeled satellite antenna mesh in two thousand twenty-six. Deployable antennas use lightweight metal mesh reflectors. Their woven structure makes them hard to model. The team combined a classic impedance model with new fitting. One parameter, effective wire radius, was fitted for each band. Real tests used a waveguide contact setup.
Three gold-coated mesh samples underwent repeated trials. Fits matched the test data very closely in native bands. Effective radius varied with band and polarization. Even one sample changed with direction. The method gives satellite teams a compact model. Satellite designers can predict reflection without building the full mesh in software. Stowable antennas benefit from such shortcuts.
