Phased Array of Data Transmission System for Earth Observing Satellite

Phased array is a new type of data transmission antenna for remote sensing satellite. The antenna scans its beam to keep the advantage of wide area coverage and high gain to get large EIRP. According to the general requirements of data transmission subsystem employed for earth observing satellite, the relationship of the parameters subject to the phased array data transmission is analyzed. A design of data transmission system suitable for engineering application and a demonstration antenna array is presented in this paper.
