Abstract
This article briefly describes the initial design of the proposed array of smalldiameter antennas for the Deep Space Network (DSN). It will provide receive capability in deep-space communication bands at 8.4 GHz (X-band) and 32 GHz (Ka-band) equivalent to one 34-m existing DSN beam-waveguide antenna. The array, its expected performance, and initial tests planned to bring up the array and evaluate its performance are described.
