“…Recent developments of electronic chipsets with lower cost and higher power (see the "Beamformers" section) have significantly contributed to renewed interest in active array antennas. More specifically, the cost of fully active phased arrays has recently dropped thanks to the advancement of Si multichannel chips to be used for Tx/Rx modules [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], paving the way to the realization the Satcom phased arrays that are now commercially available.…”

L ow-Earth orbit (LEO) constellations are revolutionizing the world of satellite communication (Satcom), providing new opportunities to manufacturers and operators and enabling innovative and attractive services to users. The main advantages of low-orbit satellite systems are • more extended coverage of the surface of Earth that permits the availability of Satcom links in areas not served by geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) systems • reduced latency that proves to be fundamental for real-time and mission-critical applications

“…PAA suitable for SatCom is due to its potential flatness. The modules are usually fabricated on multilayered printed circuit boards (PCBs) [30,31]. Adopting conformal design for arrayed antenna also allows being hosted on the fuselage of an aircraft or the superstructure of yacht [32,33].…”

“…Highly monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC) integration definitely represents a future trend to construct SatCom antenna. The integration of microwave components into a single chip outperforms an assembled system in time, cost, efficiency, reliability, complexity, and, more importantly, compactness [28,30,85]. The merits of MMIC have been identified on GaAs platform by nearly 30 years [86].…”

Getting connected whenever and wherever you travel is not kind of luxury any more. Satellite communication researchers are making it a reality to bring you data, video, and voice services when you are away from home, out of office, or on a long journey. Satellite communication antenna mounted on mobile ground terminals is an essential prerequisite of successful connectivity. In this paper, we review the evolution of this kind of antenna in its historical context and outline the major research achievements on ground mobile terminals. Many striking demonstrations and prototypes are revisited to understand the emerging technologies and assess their potential towards practical implementations. The future trends and challenges are also discussed.

“…The constructive and distractive interference are used to steer the lobe in specific direction. Beam steering is necessary in various communications such as localization, satellite, tracking system and airborne application [1][2][3][4]. Beam steering is used to differentiate the message signal from interference waves and steer the transmitted power in specific direction.…”

Beam steering antennas is essential part of various WCN (Wireless Communication Networks) such as radar and satellite communication. The increasing demand of high data rate, high SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) and high gain, therefore pattern reconfigurable antennas are required to improve such properties. Beam steering is the technique of changing the main lobe direction of radiation. The constructive and distractive interference are used to steer the lobe in specific direction. Beam steering is necessary in various communications such as localization, satellite, tracking system and airborne application. Beam steering antenna decreases interference and power consumption and also increases directivity and gain. Beam steering antenna transmit and receive signals in specific direction. Beam steering antenna decreases interference and power consumption and also increases directivity and gain. The researchers are interested to find optimal beam steering solution for single and multi-point application. In past various techniques are used to achieve beam reconfigurable antennas. This paper presents, beam steering principle and their theory, beam steering techniques such as; Mechanical Steering, Beamforming, Switching Pin Diodes, Reflector and array antenna (Reflectarray), Parasitic Steering, Phase Shifters, Switched Beam Antennas, Metamaterial Antennas, Traveling Wave Antennas, Retro-directive Antennas, Integrated Lens Antennas (ILAS), merits and demerits and comparison among various techniques.
