  • Abstract
    The paper describes the development of Europe´s first super high frequency (SHF) military aircraft satellite communications (`aerosatcoms¿¿) terminal. This development marks the accelerating international interest in both civil and military aerosatcoms which has been spurred by recent advances in space, microwave, modulation and antenna technologies. The paper examines the impact of these advances on the military aircraft project and discusses key design parameters, features and constraints.
