Abstract
The authors present aspects of the design and performance of a reconfigurable mesh reflector antenna, and the first demonstration of electrically controlled reconfiguration is illustrated. These aspects include the influence of boundary constraints on performance when compared to a rigid shaped reflector and the repeatability of practical configurations. The first topic is explored theoretically, while the second involves an experimental study made using an 85 cm diameter mesh reflector antenna
