Abstract
In recent years, phased array antennas are emerging as a key solution for satellite communications (satcom) ground terminal to provide global connectivity everywhere by satellite. To satisfy the user throughput requirements, the ground terminal has to transmit/receive the satellite signal with an high directive and steerable beam able to track satellites also close to horizon. In order to do that, phased arrays with a huge amount of elements are needed, posing a challenge in terms of design, manufacturing and costs. The following paper proposes ways to cope with manufacturing and design issues of large aperture by introducing modularity into the system. A domino subarray for Ka frequency band is presented and arranged to build customizable aperture.
