SURVEY OF SATELLITE COMMUNICATION ANTENNAS

Abstract

The radiation characteristics and physical configurations of COMSATS communication antennas are compiled in this report. Included are antennas from the following spacecrafts: COURIER, RELAY I and II, TELSTAR I and II, the SYNCOM series, INTELSTAT I and II, the IDCSP, the ATS series and LES-1, 2 and 4. The description of each antenna, though very brief, is sufficient to impart to the cognizant reader a good knowledge of the concepts involved. References to more detailed documents are given when available.
