  • Abstract
    This paper presents an alternative design for a payload telemetry data subsystem (PTDS) antenna working in ka-band. Our main driver for this antenna design, was to propose a compact concept with no move of the feed during the connection with the ground station. All the steps of the design are described, and the main results are presented (including the first performances measured on a mock-up).
