  • Abstract
    The Mobile Satellite Program is being developed to provide needed communication links to rural areas. A critical component in the system is the antenna for the vehicle. This paper addresses the issue of reducing the cost of phased array vehicle antennas through the use of a lens feeding arrangement instead of through the use of phase shifters at each element. Theoretical performance of these lens fed arrays will be presented.
