  • Abstract
    A multiple-beam satellite communications system that can adaptbeam power to varying beam traffic is proposed. A new type active-array fed, single reflector antenna design and an S band, 5-beamsystem concept including interbeam exchange are described. Basedon these concepts, a high EIRP multiple-beam system with trafficadaptability similar to a single-beam system is realized.
