TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Large space deployable antenna structure is one of the rapidly developing research directions in recent years, and is the key equipment to support large space antennas. Due to its special application in resource exploration, military early warning and deep space exploration and communication, and its great difficulty in development, it has become one of the scales to measure the spaceflight capabilities of a space power. Large space deployable antenna structure has great strategic significance to a country's social economy and national security, and has become a hot spot for research and deployment by various countries. In the next ten years, China needs to launch dozens of satellites for future national space exploration, communication, electronic reconnaissance, navigation, remote sensing, earth observation and deep space exploration. Due to the long distance, the signal received by the satellite is weak, and the satellite-borne antenna is required to have a large aperture to obtain high gain.
[0003] In order to obtain faster and higher quality signal transmission capability, communication satellites need to carry large-aperture satellite-borne antennas to meet the demand. In addition, in order to transmit high-power continuous microwaves from geosynchronous orbit to the ground, space solar power stations require hundreds of meters of super-large antennas. Satellite-borne antennas with high gain and strong directivity have a profound application prospect in military satellites due to their strong anti-interference capability. The frequency hopping communication technology and spread spectrum communication technology used to enhance the anti-reconnaissance of the antenna require the antenna to adapt to higher working frequency and have a wider frequency band. These requirements naturally put higher requirements on future satellite-borne antennas.
