Ka-band, multibeam, contiguous coverage satellite antenna for the USAThe behavior of a multibeam antenna is determined by three major characteristics: beam topology, realizable radiation characteristics, and realizable beamforming network architecture. Eight canonical topology plans have been developed and analyzed: angular separation between identical frequency cells, angular separation between orthogonally polarized identical frequency cells, number and configuration of cells forming coverage areas, and crossover level between nonidentical frequency band cells. A general topology plan is developed for the continental United States for 100-deg W synchronous satellite longitude.
