  • Abstract
    This paper describes the design, construction and measurement of a high gain antenna, prototype model, used for the SAOCOM satellite data downloading, whose fundamental purpose will be catastrophe prevention and monitoring. The antenna is a concentric spiral array with two rings, 18 elements and fed by a circular cavity.
