Abstract
Studies on a ship terminal for a maritime satellite system have shown that a shipboard antenna with a 6 - 8 dB gain would have an optimum in costs. Therefore the DFVLR - Institut fur Flugfunk und Mikrowellen decided to design an experimental shipboard antenna system meeting these datas. The first model of the antenna system was tested by the ESRO-Balloon-Simulation-Experiment during Sept./Oct. 1973 in the English Channel.
