โฆ Synopsis
Detailing the evolution of large parabolic dish antennas and their uses, this volume traces the development of NASA's Deep Space Network antenna, from its inception in 1958 to the present. The analytic and measurement techniques used in design and performance assessment are also discussed. The book is intended as an introduction for students new to the field. Imbriale is a research engineer at the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Accurate spacecraft tracking by the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) antennas must be assured during changing weather conditions. Wind disturbances are the main source of antenna vibrations, and consequently tracking errors. A wind force model is developed, and simulation results of wind-induced vibrat
