To address the long distance and significant loss in satellite-to-ground wireless link
new demands are imposed on satellite phased arrays by direct-to-handset satellite. By analyzing the practical requirements of direct-to-handset satellite
the advantages and disadvantages of various beamforming architectures were outlined
then the proper selection strategy of beamforming architecture was proposed. Subsequently
dual-band shared-aperture circularly-polarized antenna arrays under frequency division duplexing (FDD) were discussed. In addition
the stacking and integration architecture of phased arrays was reviewed
and several key fabrication technologies for components and chips were introduced. Finally
the outlook and key technologies of satellite phased arrays for direct-to-handset satellite were presented.
