Abstract :
Since 2008 the lightweight intersatellitelink antenna (LISAMS) has been developed for establishing communication between low flying satellites (e.g. earth observation satellites) and geostationary relay satellites. For this development a detailed electrical design has been simulated to predict performance parameters. The paper describes the detailed component design and the comparison of the simulated values with measurements of the manufactured breadboard antenna model.
