METHOD OF MANUFACTURING MULTILAYER ANTENNA REFLECTOR Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC H01Q15/16 

FIELD: radio equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to radio engineering, in particular to methods for manufacturing antenna reflectors, and can be used to create precision reflectors from polymer composite materials for spacecraft on-board antennas. Method includes thermoforming the back and reflective skins made of layers of fibrous composite material on the mandrel, connection of the rear and reflective skins is carried out through the honeycomb filler with the help of film adhesive and curing. In the process of manufacturing the reflector on the mandrel, each laid layer is vacuumed, including honeycomb filler and film adhesive, and throughout the cycle of laying out and evacuating the layers, precision mandrel is heated.

EFFECT: technical result consists in improving the manufacturability and increasing the functional (in open space) accuracy of the reflecting surfaces of multilayer antenna reflectors.
