Abstract:
Satellite communication system consolidation reduces the amount of shipboard topside and below deck systems required to perform radio frequency capabilities. Parabolic antenna stacking alleviates the need for multiple topside antennas to operate at commercial and military radio frequencies. This paper presents the design and simulated results of a dual splash plate parabolic stacked antenna that has the ability to operate at frequencies of four different Navy antenna variants (NMT Q/Ka, NMT X/Ka, CBSP FLV and CBSP ULV). The dual splash plate parabolic stacked antenna is focused on providing an L, C, K, Ka, Ku, X and Q band capable solution on a single pedestal to save space on the topside of shipboard platforms.
