ABSTRACT

Aiming at the deformation of carbon fiber composite antennas(CFCA) in sub-millimeter wave and even higher frequency bands under extremely environment, the research on the optimal design method of CFCAs has been proposed. Based on the laminate theory and the properties of carbon fiber composite materials, the simulation model of carbon fiber composite antenna sample has been established, which is verified by designing the sample and experiment. Then, CFCA deformation simulation model has been established and the influence of the parameters including the fiber angle, fiber layups numbers on the reflector deformation has been studied. Based on the above research, the reflector design method and deformation analysis method for carbon fiber antenna based on physical simulation are proposed to provide theoretical guidance for the research of the CFCA.
