Abstract
Two array configurations for a synchronous satellite have been developed for the 225- to 400-MHz frequency band. These include an electronically despun antenna and a nine-element planar array. The electrical performance characteristics were established by means of half-scale model measurements. Both antenna systems were designed to optimize the edge-of-the-earth gain at the lower end of the frequency band.
