Summary:This work presents a wideband phased array antenna covering X-band (8-12 GHz) space communications and searching missions. This phased array antenna is capable of performing large angle beam-scanning and beamforming especially when the spacecraft may suffer very limited field of view to the satellites or ground stations in the re-entry stage. The phased array adopts a plug-and-play antenna-in-package design concept to simplify the testing and maintenance works.
