Phased array antennas for aeronautical satellite communications
Abstract
In this paper, the configurations and the electrical characteristics of a microstrip array antenna (MSA) and a cross-slot array antenna (XSA), which are phased array antennas developed for aeronautical satellite communications, are described. Photographs and element arrangement of MSA and XSA are shown. The feed system of the phased array antenna satisfying the G/T of about 13 dBK and EIRP of 29 dBW is discussed.
