Abstract
Laser measurement technology is widely used for deformation or pose monitoring of the dual-reflector antenna systems. However, conventional models of surface temperature variation with altitude fail to accurately characterise the temperature gradients between the main reflector and the subreflector of the large-aperture antennas, due to the complex near-ground environment, the antenna’s dual-reflector structural properties, and the antenna’s own rotation changes. This temperature modelling discrepancy significantly influences the laser atmospheric propagation deflection characteristics, ultimately leading to a decrease in the accuracy of antenna attitude measurements. To address these issues, this paper proposes a theory of air stratification within large-aperture antennas and utilizes this theory to optimize the temperature gradient between the antenna’s dual reflectors. Secondly, a…
