摘要
The design of a multiband reflector antenna for an on-the-move satellite communications terminal is presented. This antenna was designed to operate with numerous modern and future military communications satellites, which in turn requires the antenna to be capable of operation at multiple frequencies and polarizations while maintaining high aperture efficiency. Several feed antenna concepts were developed to accomplish this task, and are discussed in detail. Multiple working prototypes based on this design have been realized, with excellent performance. Measured data of individual antenna components and the complete assembly is also included.
