Design of active flexible and re-configurable parabolic antenna using SMA based smart actuators
Implementing Organization
Project Overview
Under this project, a new strategy of shape control of a flexible parabolic antenna actuated with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) springs has been developed. Such antenna systems can be used to send signal at a desired location by a controlled deflection of the antenna system. To verify the findings, a controlled closed loop algorithm has been developed using MATLAB / SIMULINK in the d-space environment for a one meter diameter Antenna System.
