Abstract
This document describes a new concept of a mobile Ka band antenna for satellite communications. The antenna exhibits low profile and can cope with the stringent specification of polarization switching required in the handover from cell to cell. Transmit performance is discussed in detail and compared with an equivalent reflector antenna.
