Abstract
High data rate satellite communication systems require satellite antennas with high gain to obtain link closure. These narrow beamwidth antennas can suffer performance loss because of antenna pointing errors. Interference susceptibility is also a concern and a means of reducing interference is desired. An uplink antenna system concept is described for such requirements.
