| Description | The design, development, and implementation status of the Surface Control Actuator System (SCAS) for the Hoop/Column Antenna are described with the primary focus on the design of the mechanical element. The SCAS is an electromechanical system that will automatically adjust the antenna shape by changing the length of control cords. Achieving and maintaining the proper surface shape and smoothness are critical to optimizing the electromagnetic characteristics of the antenna. |
