Abstract

The paper presents a new antenna network subsystem architecture developed for application on board wireless communication subsystem. Founded research work results demonstrate the success of mathematical modeling and simulation of the proposed Icosahedrons Microstrip Antenna Network Architecture. Antenna elements are simulated, prototyped and tested. The Icosahedrons Microstrip Antenna Network is developed to meet the visibility requirements during inter small USS satellite radio communications.
