Abstract :
Thales Alenia Space (TAS) present a synthesis of Multiple beams antennas concepts, trade-off and main outcomes for satellites applications. The main topics of interest are: Multiple beams antennas sub-systems achievements for LEO satellites constellations. The paper emphasizes on new approaches from performances and industrial point of views; Multiple beams antennas sub-systems for GEO Telecommunication satellites. Among the different technical solutions, a focus on an innovative and competitive concept (TAS patented) will be made.
