This paper presents two different Ku-Band Low-Profile antenna concepts for Mobile Satellite Communications. The antennas are based on low-cost hybrid mechanical-electronic steerable solutions but, while the first one allows a broadband reception of a satellite signal (Receive-only antenna concept), the second one provides transmit and receive functions for a bi-directional communication link betwe...Show More
This paper presents three different concepts of Ku-band low profile antennas for mobile satcom. First, a low profile fully active phased array aiming to Ku-Band broadcast reception is presented. Two other hybrid phased arrays are presented, one aiming to receive only applications and one for Tx/Rx operations. All the three presented antennas are low profile and suitable for in-vehicle integration.Show More
