Investigation of pointing errors of dual-offset Gregorian antenna primarily relied on simulation software, which was computationally inefficient and not conducive to antenna performance optimization and wind disturbance rejection design. Based on the pointing error model of a Cassegrain antenna, a pointing error model was developed for dual-offset Gregorian antenna with similar formal structure. The model was validated through electromagnetic simulations, and the results demonstrate that the developed pointing error model is both highly accurate and applicable, providing a basis for establishing a unified theoretical framework for both types of antennas. Taking the dual-offset Gregorian antenna element of the square kilometre array (SKA) as an example, the pointing error variation were analyzed by combining antenna structural deformation data and the pointing error model under different random wind loads and different attitudes. The results indicate that the established error model may rapidly assess the pointing errors of dual-offset Gregorian antennas under random wind loading.
作为目前世界在建最大的综合孔径射电望远镜,平方公里阵(square kilometre array,SKA)高频天线阵列单元采用了双偏置格里高利天线结构形式,其特殊的偏置结构能避免馈源、支撑结构等对主反射面的遮挡,同时副反射面和焦点之间有较大空间,便于放置多个频段的馈源。然而,作为SKA天线的重要组成部分,约2500面直径15 m的碟形反射面天线计划部署在风载显著的南非卡鲁地区,研究随机风载下双偏置格里高利天线的指向误差尤为必要,可为天线的指向精度补偿提供数据。
