Design of Wideband SatCom Phased Array

With the deployment of non-terrestrial networks, the design of high-performance satellite communication (SATCOM) systems for moving terminals is essential. Specifically, operation in the Ku (13.75-14.5 GHz) and the Ka (27.5-31 GHz) bands is strategic. Due to the space constraints in airborne or terrestrial vehicles, integrating Ku and Ka operations in a single antenna aperture is highly attractive. The scope of the thesis is to advance the current wideband SATCOM antenna technology by integrating the radiating elements with the active electronics. This project is conducted within the national 6G flagship project FNS, in collaboration with Viasat, a world leader in SATCOM terminals.

The goal of the project is the design of a wideband phased array, integrated with the active components.
