| contents | Phased antenna arrays enable dynamic beam shaping, which is essential for Non-Geostationary (NGSO) satellite communications where efficient beam distribution is important. This study focuses on thinning phased antenna arrays with circular apertures made up of eight replicated sectors. Circular apertures reduce the number of active elements, lowering system costs and improving radiation performance by evenly distributing energy, which helps to reduce Side Lobe Levels (SLL). Particle Swarm Optimization was used to approach the thinning problem, addressing the challenge of selecting which elements should be activated. The resulting design achieves an SLL of (-25.67 dB), outperforming previous designs with SLL reductions of (-22.53 dB). Achieved results underscore the potential of circular aperture phased arrays to improve beam quality, minimize interference, and deliver cost-effective solutions for NGSO satellites. |
