Jim RuffAntennas & Feeds PDR 2/12/02 1 Antennas & Feeds Mechanical Design Feed Cone Feed Mounting Horn Fabrication

Jim RuffAntennas & Feeds PDR 2/12/02 2 Feed Cone Why? –More Frequencies –RFI Containment –Reduced clutter at antenna vertex How? –Similar to existing K/Q segments –Monolithic

Jim RuffAntennas & Feeds PDR 2/12/02 3 Feed Circle

Jim RuffAntennas & Feeds PDR 2/12/02 4 EVLA Feed Cone The L-Band horn is not contained in the feed cone.

Jim RuffAntennas & Feeds PDR 2/12/02 5 Feed Cone

Jim RuffAntennas & Feeds PDR 2/12/02 6 Feed Cone Unresolved Questions –Aluminum or Polycarbonate core? Aluminum cores are stiffer Polycarbonate cores are better thermally –Service Access Receiver heights vary greatly Space will be at a premium

Jim RuffAntennas & Feeds PDR 2/12/02 7 Feed Mounting Features: –Based on VLA X-Band –Continuous metal-to-metal for RFI containment –Simple horn installation and alignment –Convenient receiver swapping Which Bands? –S? C X Ku K? Ka? Q?
