Measurement Setup of a Ka-band Switchable Circularly Polarized Phased-Array Module for LEO Satellite Communications Systems

Phased Arrays are a growing trend in antenna technologies due to their versatility, their easy integration with communication systems and their low-profile. The implementation of these devices in satellite communication systems is commonly found in literature [1] where they become particularly interesting due to their long-term reliability, fast steering, and the capacity of creating multiple beams.
