Abstract
As the survival wind velocity specification mainly controls the final weight of the reflector structure of a ground antenna, this reporting of a study of the latest wind data shows that the survival specification can be lowered, and therefore the weight can be lowered, from 53.0 m/s (120 mi/h) to less than 44.1 m/s (100 mi/h). The results are based on analysis methods as recommended by the existing design guides. However, the next study reporting will be based on considerations of the dynamic action of wind, which is the upgraded analysis method described in the literature.
