Abstract :
Since the 1980s, applied satellites and satellite application have been primarily developed in China. The data transmission antennas for Earth observation satellites have also been developed during this course, and a few products have been achieved to accommodate to different aspects of demand, especially the new types of data transmission antennas, small in size, are adaptive to small satellites´ needs. This paper presents several varieties of data transmission antennas on Earth observation satellites of China.
