Abstract
An in-service reconfigurable antenna reflector having a rigid support structure, a deformable reflective surface having radio reflection properties and actuators operating on the deformable reflective surface to deform it. The reflective surface is elastically deformable with stiffness in bending and the actuators operate at control points of the deformable reflective surface, transversely thereto.
