Abstract :
This document shows the radiating element of the conformal adaptive antenna of multiple planar arrays GEODA-SARAS. Operating from 2.05 to 2.3 GHz at the S-band with dual circular polarization in Tx and Rx, it is possible to track and communicate simultaneously with several satellites because of its adaptive beam. The antenna is based on a set of similar triangular arrays which are divided in sub-arrays of five elements called cells. The measurement technique to characterize and validate each cell with the RF components will be presented in EuCAP 2014.
