Problems solved by technology

[0005] With the development of global aerial interconnection technology, in order to meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets in the future, it is necessary to require the airborne broadband satellite communication system to have multi-mode working capabilities, and most of the existing products reported so far are single-working mode

In addition, the antennas of the existing civil aviation airborne broadband satellite communication systems are mainly traditional mechanical antennas and variable inclination continuous section array antennas (VICTS). Among them, the traditional mechanical antennas mainly rely on horizontal and vertical mechanical servo systems Accurate star alignment, and the height of this servo structure is relatively large, which requires the installation of a large antenna dome; although the VICTS antenna no longer uses mechanical methods in the vertical plane, the thickness of the antenna is reduced, and the airflow characteristics are better, but the frequency of this type of antenna The range is narrow, and it needs to be constantly calibrated to adapt to frequency changes during use

At present, the independent research and development of the domestic airborne Ka broadband satellite communication system is basically in the prototype stage, and the system design structure is relatively complicated. Zhongtong mechanical antenna, large size, slow scanning speed, poor star alignment accuracy, heavy weight, etc. are the weaknesses of traditional mechanical antennas
