Abstract :
For synchronous satellites a new type of antenna formed around the apogee motor nozzle and operating simultaneously at 40 and 360 MHz has been designed. The antenna is fed through a circular gap by two tuned back cavities. The antenna feasibility has been demonstrated by measurements on a scaled model.
