Abstract

A modified template is proposed for shaped-beam satellite antenna patterns for use in orbit-planning studies of a fixed satellite service. Based on a previously discussed simple model, the template now includes the effects of beam scanning, aperture blockage, and surface errors. It is found to agree well with the measured data on current satellites and is a reasonable upper bound specification for future satellite antennas.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
