Abstract :
This paper gives a brief overview of the EHF antenna demonstrators designed, developed, integrated and tested at Dornier Satellitensysteme GmbH (DSS). The Spotbeam antenna demonstrator forms a compact, high performance combined transmit/receive antenna. The complete demonstrator consists of: an offset parabolic main reflector, a planar frequency selective surface as sub-reflector, the transmit feed system with zooming capabilities, and a fully active receive feed system. A parabolic offset reflector and a 37-element, fully active receive feed system, forms the Globalbeam antenna demonstrator
