Thermal Analysis of Composite Satellite Antenna Structure in Space Environment
복합재 통신위성 안테나의 우주환경 열해석
Abstract
Thermal analysis has been performed to evaluate the thermal effect on composite antenna (Ka-band) structure in space environment. The concepts of thermal control are also presented to maintain the antenna components within respective temperature limits. A steady-state algorithm of I-DEAS' thermal analysis software was utilized to predict both maximum and minimum temperature, maximum gradient temperature, and temperature distribution on each antenna component.
