Modeling and Analyses of a Complex Airborne Antenna Positioner for Mechanical - Electromagnetic Analyses

Article Preview

Abstract:

The deformations of an airborne waveguide slot array antenna and its positioner will finally influence the electromagnetic performances. Due to the complexity of the antenna and its positioner, effective simplification methods have to be taken for their mechanical - electromagnetic analyses. This paper describes the modeling and analyses of a complex airborne antenna positioner. The simplification method proposed not only keeps the structure features fairly exact, but also keeps the antenna to be exact enough for further deformed electromagnetic performance analyses. The modal analysis results of the whole system are close to the actual test results. It reveals that such simplification is reasonable and accurate.
