Abstract
Modifications to the existing three-frequency (7.2-/8.4-/32-GHz) feed that would increase its 7.2-GHz uplink capability from 20 kW to 100 kW are described. The new design produces a transmit band (7.2-GHz) match covering more bandwidth than the current configuration. The impact of the modifications on the downlink noise temperature and radiation patterns at 8.4 and 32 GHz are estimated using commercial modeling tools. Plans for the next phase of the project, testing of a prototype feed, are also discussed.
