A satellite dish, which is available as standard on the market, will be studied in this thesis. The dish will be designed in 3d design program and will be studied statically using the finite element method in strength analysis program. For the static analysis and the strength test, the weight of the system combined with the wind forces in extreme climatic conditions, will be included. Thus, by calculating the stresses, the strength of the system will be tested in different angles.Finally, as an extension of this study, relevant improvements will be proposed in relation to the existing product if critical points are found.
