Abstract :
This paper presents a 2D phased antenna array that can be used in the LEO satellite system. A basic 2times2 sub-array, using circular polarisation, has been design and realised. The influence of mutual coupling between antennas and impedance matching of beam-forming network on characteristics of the array has been considered
