Mobile satcom antenna developments and experimental results of land- and aeronautical-mobile field trials

This paper describes several mobile satcom antenna systems that the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has developed and demonstrated the last decade for land- and aeronautical-mobile digital audio/data/video satellite communication "on the move." The field trial results are presented, including a live, nation-wide, educational television broadcast from a NASA research aircraft. Several US patents have resulted from these efforts.
