This thesis examines the viability of an umbrella like deployable antenna with an aperture of 1m, stowed in a volume of 1.5U or 2U. Some antenna basic theory is referenced and a literature survey on antenna deploying mechanisms is performed. Following this, a concept is proposed, based on an existin...
