摘要：A deployable reflector for an electronically scanned reflector antenna isprovided. The deployable reflector may be confined to a relatively small volume for

transportation of the reflector to a deployment site. Upon deployment, the reflector ofthe present invention forms a relatively large reflector surface, having a preciselycontrolled surface geometry. The reflector generally includes a plurality of panelmembers interconnected to a plurality of ribs interconnected to an extendable boom.The antenna reflector of the present invention is particularly well suited for a space-based antenna, where a reflector that can be collapsed into a small volume for transportand deployed to form a large reflector surface having high gain is desirable.
