  • Abstract
    This paper has summarized the main aspects, considerations and challenges of the feasibility study promoted by ESA to exploit the possibility of introducing the new K band in its DSA1 and DSA2. Very good results were achieved, both for the new band and for the already existing bands, which are little or not at all affected by the introduction of the new band.
