- Abstract
Antenna configurations are surveyed for simultaneously accessing a number of satellites from a single earth station. Both specially designed antennas and methods for upgrading existing antennas are discussed. A general treatment is presented, although emphasis is placed on the AUSSAT system of three satellites spaced at 4 degrees. Results indicate that in this case specially designed multiple access antennas are possible up to the largest antenna diameters needed. However, the upgrading of existing earth stations may be limited to reflectors of less than 5m in diameter, even when sophisticated feed designs are used.
