Abstract :
Beam forming networks (BFN) distribute transmission signals to an antenna system at satellites in the orbit which enable energy-efficient multi-media communication. A new approach to BFN is presented which combines structural and electrical functions in a single multilayer board in contrast to traditionally milled metal bodies.
