Mobile antenna developments in EADS astrium

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

Satellite communications in Ku- and Ka-bands are beginning to see increasing interest in active and semi-active antennas, because of the flexibility they provide compared with the conventional passive approach. For mobile communications in L and S-bands, on the other hand, active antennas have been mandatory for a number of years, because the accommodation of the additional reflectors which would be necessary for a passive antenna approach is impossible.
