  • An Antenna & RF system for a fly-away satcom terminal application on ka-band is presented in this paper. The Fly-away satellite terminal can be moved and operated by two person and adapt automatic satellite tracking system in order to decrease the tracking time. Additionally, for low-power consumption, compact size and light-weight, a dual reflector antenna is constructed using dual-offset gregorian antenna structure. For minimize weight, the reflector of the antenna is made of Magnesium. For low-power consumption and light-weight, the pHEMT MMIC compound devices is utilized. The Electronic Band-Gap(EBG) Low-Pass Filter(LPF) is designed for harmonic rejection. In the receiving part, Low-Noise Block converter(LNB) structure is designed for compact and lightweight. In this paper, fly-away satcom terminal with low-power consumption, compact size and light-weight is described with antenna system and RF system performances. Through the experimentation, fly-away terminal's EIRP is more than 50dBW, G/T is more than $17dB/^{\circ}K$.
