Abstract
The television antenna on board the UNISAT spacecraft will be used to broadcast television signals direct to individual households within the UK. The realisation of this highly complex antenna, right through from preliminary electrical design trade-offs to final electrical testing, is dominated by CAE techniques, either in the form of software tools for design analysis or through computer control of manufacturing and testing equipment.
