Abstract
As a development step towards the implementation of the Inflatable Space Rigidized Antenna Reflector (ISRS) technology for antenna reflectors, a 10 meter Large Offset Antenna Demonstrator (LOAD 10) ISRS antenna reflector was designed, built, tested and evaluated. The authors present the electrical performance of the antenna evaluated on the basis of the measured parabolic surface of the built reflector. The influence of the surface accuracy on gain, side lobe level, cross-polar level and interference level between isofrequency beams is described
