Abstract

Since the 1980s, applied satellites and satellite application have been primarily developed in China. The data transmission antennas for Earth observation satellites have also been developed during this course, and a few products have been achieved to accommodate to different aspects of demand, especially the new types of data transmission antennas, small in size, are adaptive to small satellites´ needs. This paper presents several varieties of data transmission antennas on Earth observation satellites of China.
