Abstract :
This is a brief of the development of a new multiple-array antenna, working on the 1.7 GHz band. The main purpose of the project is to establish communications between a satellite constellation and the terrestrial station. Signals from the constellation is followed by the antenna by means of an adaptive beam system.
