Abstract (en)

An antenna reflector reconfigurable in service, including a rigid support structure (2), a deformable reflecting surface (1) having radio frequency reflectivity properties, and actuators (3) acting on this deformable reflecting surface in order to deform it, characterised in that this reflecting surface is conventionally deformable with a bending stiffness, and in that the actuators act at control points (P) of this deformable reflecting surface, in a direction transverse to the latter. <IMAGE>
