Currently, there is a need to replace mirror antennas used on mobile communication complexes with phased array antennas, including active ones, with better electrical and mass-dimensional characteristics.

The purpose of the work is a theoretical and experimental study of the characteristics of a multi-element strip antenna array for subscriber terminals of satellite communication systems.

The above research results have shown that most of the side lobes of the radiation patterns of this multi-element strip antenna array are located in two mutually orthogonal planes, while, for example, in mirror antennas, the side lobes of the bottom are located around the main lobe of the bottom. This, in turn, is an advantage of this multi-element strip antenna array, since the probability of operation of the satellite communication system on the side lobes is reduced.

The research results allowed us to conclude that further work is promising in order to create new technical antenna solutions for subscriber satellite communication systems. Further development of the antenna array under consideration is associated with the use of digital diagramming circuits to control the beam of the radiation pattern.
