Title :
Variable Power Dividers in Satellite Systems
Abstract :
Variable power dividers (VPD´S) are used for electronically despinning an antenna on a rotating satellite, and for beam steering or shaping in a multiple-beam satellite antenna system. Designs of each type for the SMS and DSCS III satellites are described, comprising both diode and ferrite varieties.
