Abstract :
A strategy to optimize dual-reflector antennas for compact Satellite Communications (SATCOM) terminals to meet various user-specified requirements is described. An overview of the method and design methodology is given, and some of the challenges in designing compact antennas as compared to traditional large Earth Station antennas are described.
