Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) plans to launch a geostationary satellite called Engineering Test Satellite-VIII (ETS-VIII). ETS-VIII will conduct orbital experiments on mobile satellite communications aiming at multimedia applications at the S-band frequency. In this research, simple satellite tracking patch array antennas with three and four electronically-steered beams respectively have been developed. These antennas do not require a phase shifter and the beam is switched by use of a simple "ON", "OFF" feeding control. Therefore the size and fabrication cost can be decreased. In this report, these two types of antennas are considered. In addition, the outline and results of outdoor experiments using a pseudo satellite are presented.
