An innovative design for a feed support structure for the next generation large radio telescope, based on the idea of integrating mechanical, electronic and optical technologies (Optomechatronics), is considered. Theoretical analyses and simulations are carried out. A 5 m experimental model is built to demonstrate the idea.
