Abstract
The paper presents data on radiotechnical characteristics of antennae and reflectors for mm and sub-mm wavelength ranges, made of carbon-gra phite materials (CGM). It is shown that the reflectivity value of plan e reflectors made of different kinds of CGM depends mostly on the surf ace roughness being close to that of metallic reflectors, and does not change significantly under neutron irradiation. Characteristics of CG M-made antennae are not much different from those for antennae made of metal. Pyramidal antennae made of CGM maintains its properties under imitated plasma disruption much better than a similar metallic one wou ld. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
