TENSAR

TENSAR is Tendeg’s integrated deployable antenna solution for high aspect ratio parabolic cylindrical apertures, combining the reflector, boom, and feed into a compact, scalable architecture. Built around a lightweight tensegrity frame, the system supports HF through Q/V-band missions, reflector lengths exceeding 20 meters, and multiple surface configurations including gold wire mesh, passive reflectarray membranes, or folded rigid panels. Demonstrated to TRL-6 at C-band in 2024, TENSAR delivers large-aperture RF performance, high deployed stiffness, and rideshare-compatible packaging for communications, sensing, and mission-specific RF applications.
