[0003] (1) The requirements for data transmission are getting higher and higher, requiring the antenna to be able to realize ground measurement and control and data transmission functions when the distance between the device and the ground is greater than 2 million kilometers. To solve this problem, the antenna needs to have the characteristics of high gain and high efficiency;

[0004] (2) The on-orbit temperature is becoming more and more severe. The antenna faces a wide temperature range of -185℃ to +125℃. To solve this problem, the antenna needs to have the characteristics of deep low temperature resistance and high thermal stability, so that it can work normally under the harsh on-orbit temperature;

[0005] (3) The structure is required to be ultra-lightweight. Lightweight structure is an important means to improve the performance of aerospace equipment. Currently, the commonly used high-gain antennas for small celestial body detection are reflector antennas and radial line slot antennas. Among them, radial line slot antennas cannot achieve the same transmission and reception, and two sets of antennas are required to realize related functions, which is unfavorable to the overall size, weight and surface layout of the antenna. Reflector antennas can achieve the same transmission and reception, and have a smaller envelope size, but the structure can still be further lightweight.
