Abstract
As a risk mitigation exercise, a new X-band feed-pallet and feed horn for an existing military SATCOM terminal was designed. Through the use of an optimized horn design, and redesign of the feed network components, an improved design was obtained. The new feed system is more compact, has reduced weight, and is mechanically simpler than the existing feed pallet.
