Electrodynamics modelingPROGRAM COMPLEX FOR LARGE DEPLOYMENT REFLECTOR MODELING

Program complex allows to make calculations of basic characteristics of large deployment reflectors taking into account reflector-type parasitics surface deviations. Practically all factors are taken into account:

• geometric distortion and deviation of reflector-type parasitic surface; • instrumental errors of support installation; • "matrix" effect; • thermal distortion caused by uneven heating of reflector.

Program complex allows to optimize reflector's surface according to different criteria, improving characteristics of antenna system by doing this. Return files on calculations of reflector's surface are compatible with AutoCAD и 3DSmax formats.
