Abstract:
This effort on the mechanical design and development of lightweight antenna reflectors and positioning devices includes descriptions of the mechanical design and a Servo-Control System forA NEW TYPE OF ANTENNA POSITIONING DEVICE ANPOD. After the kinematic and dynamic requirements are discussed and established, certain idealizations, assumptions, and variables are outlined. The variables are mathematically determined and equated. The requirements of the static load of the system are analyzed and established in both table form and in equations. A brief study of the Servo-Control System and a few of the associated problems was made. An evaluation between the development, fabrication, costs, performance, and installation of a conventional pedestal and the ANPOD device confirmed the original premise that the ANPOD design concept has the greater simplicity, and provides a system capable of being accurately controlled, with good reflector structural support, low weight, and the ability to be stowed during wind conditions. The ANPOD can be standardized for an appreciable range of sizes, and is easily transported to and installed at the operating site. Author
