Abstract

With the rapid development of satellite communication, especially in low earth orbit (LEO) scenario, more and more attention is paid to the ground station construction. Instead of using large reflector antennas, a synthetic aperture of multi-antennas with small sizes can provide a more flexible and low-cost solution. In this paper, we present a synthesis of multiple variable inclination continuous transverse stub (VICTS) antennas using the digital beamforming technique to build a ground station for satellites. The system architecture is designed and introduced. As the first stage of the project, a Kuband VICTS antenna is simulated and optimized. Basic evaluation based on a Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite is carried out for demonstrating the digital beamforming technique. Details and results are given and discussed.
