%T Feasibility investigation of adopting a parabolic reflector on a helicopter for satellite communication %L elediasc12268 %I University of Trento %A P. Benedetti %X 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. %D 2012 %K Evolutionary Optimization, Array Synthesis, ACM
