Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 8th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) Conference Start Date: 2014, April 6 Conference End Date: 2014, April 11 Conference Location: The Hague, Netherlands This work describes the potential of SiGe BiCMOS technology for the development of SatCom user terminal antennas for wideband global SatCom satellite services operating in Ka-band. This application is attracting a strong attention both from military and civil users. In particular, analysts predict a very positive outlook for Ka-band on the move applications which will provide interesting opportunities for industrial providers. In this work it will be briefly introduced the of SiGe BiCMOS technology for the implementation of low-cost user terminal antennas for Ka-band mobile applications. The results introduced in this work have been obtained within the framework of the EU FP7 project FLEXWIN. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
