    摘要: An antenna system for space applications provides a membrane antenna with one or more flexible membranes. An antenna enclosure stores the membrane antenna during stowage. One or more first deployable support structures extend along a first axis from the antenna enclosure during deployment, at least a first point of the membrane antenna being operably anchored to a point on the first deployable support structures. Deployment mechanisms are operably anchored at a junction with the first deployable support structures. The deployment mechanisms extend one or more second deployable support structures along a second axis from the first deployable support structures during deployment. At least a second point of the membrane antenna is operably anchored to a point on the second deployable support structures. Extension of the first deployable support structures and second deployable support structures unfurls the membrane antenna along both axes to overlap the junction.

    摘要: A multi-band antenna has a feed point, a grounding location, a first portion for low band operation, a second portion for low band operation, and one or more portions for high band operation. The ground reference of the feed point for the multi-band antenna is connected to a separate object that may provide a base for the multi-band antenna. The feed point of the multi-band antenna may be spaced above the base and have a space between the feed point and a location for the ground point. The low band portion has multiple resonances that are often odd multiples of the lowest resonant response. The portions that resonant most dominantly in the high band often have multiple resonances that are even multiples of the lowest high band resonance. The multi-band antenna has resonances spaced closely enough to appear to be a wide band antenna above the fundamental high band resonance.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provides an antenna and an antenna system. The antenna includes a body member, a head member integrally connected to a first edge of the body member, wherein the head member forms a fold having a first angle towards the front face of the body member, and a first arm member and a second arm member, wherein the first arm member and the second arm member are integrally connected to the body member corresponding to the second edge and the third edge of the body member, and wherein the set of arm members each form a fold having a second angle towards the front face of the body member.
