International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 27-30, 1997 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The requirement for a lightweight, quick deployment C-Band satellite communication
antenna system for Aegis Class Destroyers has been addressed and this paper describes a
novel solution currently being implemented. The new antenna system takes advantage of
the low windload properties of the FLAPS™ (Flat Parabolic Surface) reflector and features
a broadband FLAPS™ reflector mounted on a lightweight, high performance X-Y
positioner. The system is designed in a modular fashion and operates in a shipboard
environment without the protection of a radome. The system is stabilized to counteract the
ship's motion, operates without counterweights, weighs less than 250 kg and provide
communication links in the 3900 to 4100 MHz and 6000 to 6200 MHz frequency bands.
