Abstract

Airbus DS GmbH has developed a Ka-band antenna assembly which offers steerable up- / downlink connections (receive, transmit) for satellites in low earth orbit (LEO). The antenna consists of a dual reflector antenna and a mechanical steering mechanism. The pointing mechanism comprises the steering unit, a standardised azimuth stage and an elevation stage, which is custom-made.
