Abstract
Modern naval ships rely on satellite systems for weather information and communications. For example, the heritage AN/SMQ-11 shipboard receiving terminal for meteorological data provides L- and S-band receive capability with a single flat-panel dual-band antenna array that is pointed at one satellite at a time. Shipboard satcom systems require spherical radomes located port and starboard (because of mast blockage) for each frequency band. With limited topside space, locating these multiple radomes is difficult
