Abstract :
Two tracking antennas based on quasi-optical techniques for inter-satellite communications at sub-millimeter wavelengths are presented. One is scanning antenna and the other is monopulse antenna. The structures of the two antennas and their working principles are described in detail. The simulated and measured data are presented. Both antennas show good performances at THz frequencies.
