What makes the beam waveguide version special is the addition of five precision radio frequency mirrors that reflect radio signals along a tube from the antenna to a below-ground room. This design allows sensitive electronics to be in a climate-controlled equipment room instead of outdoors, at the center of the antenna dish. This configuration also simplifies maintenance and modification of the equipment as new technologies are developed.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>A 112-foot (34-meter) beam waveguide antenna at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex near Barstow, California.<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"An antenna faces left, surrounded by a rocky landscape, it casts an orange glow in the darkening sky.
