REFLECTING ELEMENT OF ANTENNA Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: manufacturing of antennas, in particular, fold parabolic large and small-size antennas which are automatically unfolded in space and for mechanical engineering, instruments making. SUBSTANCE: device is made from warp cellular knit. Each cell is made from four cylindrical threaded springs, diameter of turns is in range of 3-10 mm. Springs are connected by means of relative intertwining. Said cylindrical springs are made from rigid threads or filaments which bend stiffness index is in range of $$$ and linear knot factor is in range of 80-120. EFFECT: increased plasticity and flexibility. 1 dwg, 1 tbl
