Abstract :
The characteristics of an 8-element circular array antenna developed for possible application with a satellite crosslink communication system are described. The array elements are excited in rotating phase of the second mode ( 
mode) to provide a conical-shape pattern with an axial (earth pointing) null. Theoretical and scale measurement results are presented.
