Summary:
To create a next-generation mobile satellite communication system that offers large communication capacity, the onboard antenna system must be a multi-beam system consisting of a light weight 20-m class reflector and a light weight 100-beam class antenna feed system. We clarify that the antenna gain decrease created by the reflector surface distortion expected in orbit is relatively large. This paper presents a deformed antenna pattern compensation method that minimizes circuit scale. Validity of the proposed method is confirmed by antenna pattern calculations and experiments on a fabricated array-fed reflector antenna.
