Abstract
The author describes the design and performance of a family of fixed and mobile antennas developed at AK Electromagnetique Inc., Communications Research Centre and other organizations in support of an emerging North American Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) system. The noise temperature and G/T parameters are compared for these antennas at various elevation angles. Measured radiation patterns and the return loss are described. The designs for each key element are carefully reviewed to see how the designs could be modified so as to best represent a commercially produced antenna
