Abstract

LISA is a circularly polarized, planar array antenna providing an inter-satellite link between an LEO and GEO satellite. Within this paper the basic design concept of the antenna and first electrical performance tests of a breadboard model consisting of two of the 16 radiating elements are presented. The radiation patterns predicted with an electrical field simulation program are in close agreement with co- and cross-polar radiation pattern measured in a Compensated Compact Antenna Test Range.
