Decoupling a Reflecting Layer From Its Support Structure
Abstract
Mounting decouples thermal distortions of reflective surface so not transmitted to support structure. Reflecting layer consists of aluminum reflecting tiles attached to support structure by flexural mounting bend and twist to accommodate thermal expansion of tiles. Technique useful in microwave-antenna reflectors.
