Abstract

A steel reinforcement bracket attaches to an aluminum rib of a frame of a dish antenna to relieve the stress causing fatigue in the rib. The bracket is shaped in such a way so as to allow a cradle bracket gripping opposite sides of the rim to form a flat surface against the rib. The reinforcement bracket is secured to the rib and cradle bracket with bolts so as to transfer the stress on the rib to the reinforcement bracket.
