Abstract

A foldable satellite antenna includes a dish reflector formed with an opening, a connecting rod having a section smaller than the opening such that the connecting rod is able to be inserted through the opening to penetrate the dish reflector, a compensating structure for being disposed in an area enclosed by the opening to fill an area other than where the connecting rod penetrating the opening after the connecting rod is inserted through the opening to penetrate the dish reflector, and a dish bracket for riveting the dish reflector and the connecting rod such that the connecting rod is folded around a rotating center of the dish bracket after the connecting rod is inserted through the opening to penetrate the dish reflector.
