As the core technology of high‐throughput satellite payloads, multibeam antennas have received high attention and rapid development in recent years. Because of the characteristics of high gain and high beam isolation, multiaperture multibeam antennas is an important technical approach to meet the high‐performance requirements of high‐throughput satellites. This article proposes a mathematical modeling method based on the mutual coupling parameters of the reflector. This method takes capacity requirements and satellite structure design boundary conditions as input condition, and adopts an adaptive evolutionary multiobjective optimization algorithm to perform joint optimization and solution of multiple parameters, which can complete the optimization efficiently. This method does not need to perform a large number of antenna parameter simulation, reduces the number of iterations and structural layout design, greatly reduces the design cost. This article takes the demand of the AP‐6D satellite as an example, applies the above method to the multibeam antenna design of the satellite, and completes the simulation verification, structural design, physical manufacturing, and various tests of the antenna to verify the correctness of the design method.
