Abstract

A positioner supports an antenna at an optional rotating angle and the mirror surface of the antenna at different rotating angles is measured. A computer expands the measured value into series using polar coordinates system associated with the measuring system, whereby the intrinsic deformation of the mirror surface under the zero-gravity condition and the deformation due to gravity are separately measured.
