Due to the limited communication time between LEO satellites and the ground station and large volume of satellite image data, it is necessary to establish a high transmission rate connection. Therefore, the use of a high-efficiency satellite antenna is inevitable. In order to use the limited viewing time of the satellite, it must be possible to communicate with the ground station at low angles and change the main beam direction of satellite antenna to the direction of the ground station. The proposed array is composed of 8 antenna elements with a compact microstrip feed network. Low profile structure, circular polarization, high gain and low cost specifications of this proposed antenna array, candidate it for conformal array antenna in satellite applications.
