The GPS signal reception power is about -160 dBm at the antennas. The analog LMS (least mean square) algorithm has been chosen for its highspeed/simplicity and lowcost trade-off. Test show good results: 64 dB SNIR enhancement in less than 300 /spl mu/s.

The use of graphite structure along with gold-plated molybdenum wire mesh surfaces enables the construction of reliable precision spacecraft antennas that can be stowed in a small volume for launch and then deployed on orbit. The basic shape and stability of the deployed antenna are maintained by the graphite ribs and backup structure while the mesh surface provides a high degree of reflectivity in order to prevent excessive RF system losses due to leakage through the reflector surface. For multichannel communications applications, the generation of passive inter-modulation (PIM) components from the nonlinear mixing of transmitted signals can result in interfering signals in band at the spacecraft receiver frequencies. For such applications the additional requirement is imparted that no significant PIM is generated by the reflector surface including the mesh. Practical precision measurement techniques and antenna storage methods are key for the maintenance and evaluation of mesh surface deployable antennas prior to launch to insure proper performance on orbit.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138141,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128351953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors describe an efficient MoM technique in which the matrix is filled by spatial interpolation of the matrix elements. Redundant calculations in the moment matrix are eliminated by utilizing various symmetries. The method is illustrated by application to planar problems including scattering from a square plate and radiation from a microstrip patch antenna. Computed results compare very well with those in the published literature. Using interpolation to fill the moment matrix has proven to be very efficient and produces negligible error in the computed current distribution.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138141,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123996295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
