Kinematic Analysis of a Hybrid Structure

[摘要] This paper presents a kinematic analysis and simulation of a hybrid structure applied to the new design cable-suspended feed structure (CSFS) for the next generation of large spherical radio telescopes. First, considering the requirement that feeds should be tilted from 40° to 60° and that the tracking precision in steady state is 4mm, a novel design of the feed supporting structure including a cable-cabin structure, an AB axis structure and a Stewart platform is performed. Next, kinematic analysis and the simulation of the CSFS are done. Simulations have been developed in combination with the 50m CSFS model, which demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed three-level cable-suspended feed system.
