Abstract
This paper discusses the configuration of design of smart space reflector system for realization of future high-accuracy antenna in space. This study aims at establishing of design methods for a smart secondary reflector to correspond to deformation mode which caused on the primary reflector surface in space. Authors have investigated effects that perturbation of Kinematic Coupling (KC), which restricted the primary reflector and a back structure, affecting to the primary reflector surface by using finite-element method (FEM). Furthermore, the number of piezoelectric actuators of the back of secondary reflector surface is varied to compare deformation modes of secondary reflector surface with that of primary reflector. Through correlations of deformation of the primary reflector and configuration of the smart secondary reflector, new knowledge of antenna system while considering two reflectors at the same time is obtained.
