大型可展开网状天线反枕效应研究进展 by 贺乃馨, 宋燕平, 李团结, 张大羽, 黄鹏飞, 李怡晨, 曾家琛

“…Through the optimization design of traditional hexagonal chiral honeycomb materials, the research group found that the application of negative Poisson's ratio materials can indeed alleviate the anti-pillow effect of mesh antenna, and confirmed the feasibility of negative Poisson's ratio materials in solving the anti-pillow effect of reflector antenna.Conclusions and ProspectsThis paper summarizes the previous research programs to solve the anti-pillow effect, and according to the recent research results of the research group, explores the feasibility of the curved surface bending characteristics of negative Poisson's ratio materials in solving the anti-pillow effect, which can predictably reduce the number of existing mesh antenna adjustment points, optimize the antenna structure, and reduce the antenna quality. …”
