Reconfigurable Small Satellite Antennas

In a contested space environment, communication links can be made more resilient through flexible and reconfigurable antenna designs, including antennas with nulling capability. This capability can also be extended to the telemetry, tracking, and control (TT&C) link which is critical to the entire satellite system. The Antenna Systems Department (ASD) at the Aerospace Corporation has done recent work in developing concepts for an agile multi-band TT&C anten...
