چکیده
This paper presents an overview of the results of the development of Ku-Band Low-Profile antennas for Mobile Satellite Communications. The antennas are based on a hybrid mechanical-electronic steerable array architecture. Different prototypes have been developed and demonstrated. We present the results for two receive-only antennas for satellite broadcasting applications and two Transmit-Receive antennas for broadband bi-directional communications. Both types of antennas are suitable for integration in ground vehicles and aircrafts.

Abstract— This work investigates the improvement of the active reflection coefficient of waveguide-fed phased-array antenna using liquid crystal layers. The anisotropy properties of liquid crystal layer can be employed to eliminate blind scan angle and improve the wide angle impedance matching of the waveguide-fed phased array antennas. The authors have expressed the modal analysis of the waveg...
