Abstract
The authors describe the eight different types of antennas on the INTELSAT VII spacecraft. These antennas are: (1) C-band hemi/zone antennas, (2) C-band spot antenna, (3) Ku-band spot antennas, (4) C-band global antenna, (5) Ku-band beacon antenna, (6) C-band beacon antenna, (7) omni telemetry tracking and control antennas, and (8) telemetry directional antenna. All antennas are located on the earth panel of the satellite except the hemi/zone antennas, which are on the east and west sides of the spacecraft. All antennas have a clear view of earth with 'stay-away' regions to eliminate any scattering-related performance degradation.<>
