Abstract
Feasibility studies on a multiband communication satellite antenna sys tem and the key technologies involved in devising this system are desc ribed. The proposed multiband communication satellite utilizes four fr equency bands: Ka (30/20 GHz), Ku (14/12 GHz), C (6/4 GHz), and S (2.6 /2.5 GHz). It has six beam configurations, three multibeam and three s haped-beam. The following key technologies are presented: 1) a low-los s frequency selective subreflector (FSR) for compact feeds, 2) a low-l oss and broadband frequency selective surface (FSS), and 3) a highly a ccurate and reliable mesh reflector.
