AbstractA deployable antenna mesh reflector has a hub from whichextend radial supporting ribs which support a metallic reflectormesh. Between each pair of supporting ribs is positioned one ormore parasite ribs attached to the reflector mesh. The parasiteribs extend radially and are connected to the supporting ribs bytie wires. The tie wires can be adjusted in tension by suitableadjusters to thereby adjust the curvature of the mesh to thedesired parabolic shape.
