Abstract: This Roadmap presents the research trends on antenna systems for Satellite Communication terminals. To address the challenges posed by this application in terms of wide fractional bandwidth and large field-of-view, several antenna concepts and architectures are being investigated, which can be grouped in three main technology areas: fully electronic scan, fully mechanical scan with unconventional steering mechanisms and beam switching. Design techniques, current results and future developments are outlined, considering representative examples for each technology area.
