摘要： The mobile cylindrical microwave antenna array of the present invention comprises a plurality of rectangular panels when deployed forming a cylindrical array. The total number of panels forms an even number with each pair of panels, a left panel and a right panel, forming a subarray unit of the cylindrical array. These panels are hinged on the vertical outer edges to each other. The mobile cylindrical array has a center support structure which has a plurality of folding radial supports at the bottom and top of the center support structure. Each subarray unit is attached to the radial supports at the top and bottom. A motorized driver for translating is attached to each subarray unit and one radial support. When operated to collapse the deployed array, the motorized driver causes the left and right panel of the subarray unit to fold outwardly wherein the apex points to the center support. When the panels are fully collapsed against the center support, the radial supports are folded into the collapsed panels thus forming a compact cylindrical package.
