Abstract :
This paper describes the electrical design and measured characteristics of a flight model for ETS-VI (Engineering Test Satellite-VI) multibeam antenna feeder components using Ka/C/S frequency bands. Key technologies are low loss and low cross-polarization frequency selective surfaces (FSSs), cluster horns for low sidelobe characteristics, and high gain S-band antenna.
