  • Abstract
    This paper presents, a Phased Array Antenna [PAA] geometry consists of 9 panels constellation to analyze Visibility Gap from the satellites to a individual panel and panels constellation both has been carried out by using Satellite Tool Kit [STK]. This proposed design considered a sensor objects instead of panels, with azimuth angle of 45° and elevation angle of 34° for base panels, so that it covers entire 360°, 90° of elevation angle and 0° of azimuth angle for the top panel, it is not covering below 10°. The satellite tool kit software is utilized to determine the coverage patterns of the satellites, sensors and this software is employed to visualize the satellite orbits around the Earth.
