“…This paper presents the practical development of the PAFSR antenna concept (Passive Array Fed Shaped Reflector [1]) in the context of the evolution of future satellite payloads [2]. More precisely, the attention is devoted to the most critical point of this antenna, which is the focal feed array design.…”

This paper outlines THALES ALENIA SPACE activities in the context of reconfigurable missions with channelized amplification in Ku-band. Flexibility in Tx pattern coverage is achieved thanks to an antenna including a shaped reflector and a focal array controlled by Ferrite phase-shifter. This paper focuses on the design of the focal feed array and details the guidelines that allowed to converge on a compact architecture.
