  • Abstract
    A planar digital-beamforming (DBF) antenna for user terminals in future satellite navigation systems has been developed to improve the overall system performance. A C-band breadboard model including aperture coupled patches, receiver and signal-processing unit has been designed, manufactured and tested.
