Benedetti}, school = {University of Trento}, year = {2012}, keywords = {Evolutionary Optimization, Array Synthesis, ACM}, url = {http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/268/}, abstract = {Aerial platforms are nowadays equipped with a large variety of instrumentations for many different applications. The project activity described is mainly focused on the study and analysis of mounting a parabolic reflector, properly designed for satellite communications, on a helicopter platform. In particular the activity is related to the electromagnetic field perturbation analysis when the orientation of the radiating antenna changes, thus trying to keep line-of-sight with the satellite with which it communicates.} }
