Abstract :
This paper describes the main features of a low cost and compact Ka-band satcom terminal being developed within the ESA-project LOCOMO. The terminal will be compliant with all capacities associated with communication on the move supplying higher quality, better performance and faster speed services than the current available solutions in Ku band. The terminal will be based on a dual polarized low profile Ka-band antenna with TX and RX capabilities.
