Electromagnetic, Thermal, Stress and Deformation Analysis of a Space-Based Satellite Dish Antenna

December 28th, 2010

This paper presents a multiphysics analysis of a space-based communication satellite antenna. Electromagnetic losses due to induced high-frequency surface currents lead to partial, asymmetric heating of the structure, causing stress and deformation. A final electromagnetic…read more
