The CS-2 satellite antenna design and characteristics
Abstract
A satellite antenna has been studied for use in the Japanese domestic satellite communication system. In the electrical design, various design parameters were evaluated to estimate their effects on electrical performance in order to establish a shaped beam antenna covering the 4 GHz to 30 GHz band. In thermal and structural aspects, the design method based on analyses was verified by confirming the mechanical properties in enviromental tests. After a series of tests, it was confirmed that the antenna satisfied all the characteristics required for space use.
