Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a satellite antenna system, particularly for land mobile voice communications, provided with a radiator unit (1), which is steerable to the satellite in the azimuth plane. According to the invention, the radiator unit (1) comprises two antenna elements (14, 15) and a ground plane (16); the said elements are formed of circular, planar, conductive plates and terminated to a load; they are turned at an angle of 180 DEG with respect to each other and evenly spaced at a standard distance from the ground plate. The radiator unit is used for receiving and transmitting circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation. <IMAGE>
