A
satellite-borne retractable
helical antenna structure comprises a grounding plate and a
helical main body, the axis of the
helical main body is vertically and fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the grounding plate, and a plurality of flexible helical geometric holding members are circumferentially and spirally arranged between two adjacent ring
layers of the helical main body; the device further comprises an unlocking releasing mechanism arranged on the upper surface of the grounding plate in the spiral main body, and at least three inhaul cables are connected between the unlocking releasing mechanism and the top ring of the spiral main body to fold and fix the spiral main body. Through reasonable design and arrangement of the spiral main body and the structures of all parts, the
spiral antenna has a large storage ratio, effectively reduces the emission space occupied by the antenna, enables the spiral main body ring
layers to have structural continuity in cooperation with the flexible spiral geometric holding member, improves the
structural rigidity of the
spiral antenna, guarantees the spiral size precision after unfolding, and improves the antenna performance. The on-
orbit electrical performance index of the antenna can be ensured to be met; the overall structure is easy to implement, the on-
orbit unfolding function of the
satellite-borne
helical antenna is achieved, the overall structure has high rigidity, only a small number of matched devices are needed, the
mass of the overall
helical antenna can be reduced, and the reliability of the folding and unfolding function is improved.
