This resource on antenna technology for communication satellites provides a system view of antenna applications, a description of various antenna technologies, and guidance on methodologies for antenna evaluation, addressing both the aerospace and user sectors. The book begins with an overview of the parameters that characterize antennas, then describes antenna technology required in communication satellite systems, reviews architectures for the space and user segments, looks at antenna technology alternatives, and details methods to evaluate both component- and system-level performance. Techniques to mitigate interference are covered, and processes used in the development and characterization of antenna systems are described. The book is for antenna system planners and technology developers. Dybdal is affiliated with the Aerospace Corporation.
