            Abstract : 
Thales Alenia Space France presents a description and the main performances of recently developed antenna products in the frame of GEO telecommunication programs. The main topics of interest are: — Ku/Ka-band multi-frequency feeds (full bandwidth BSS+FSS or Ku+Ka) — Very high power application transmit/receive in Ku-Band and associated thermal control — Shared reflector aperture to realize several coverages — Compact Ka-band transmit/receive feeds for broadband applications
