Abstract

A foldable and deployable assembly for use to transfer RF signals comprises a RF transmitter/receiver adapted to operate in the RF range S and up, a transmit/receive horn unit to attach the assembly to an antenna operable in the RF range S and up and a foldable/deployable RF waveguide connected between the RF transmitter/receiver and the transmit/receive horn and operable in the RF range of S and up, the waveguide is formed as a hollow elongated piece made of at least one of silicone based shape memory composite carbon fiber reinforced silicone (CFRS) and graphite with silicone.
