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.
