Abstract
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has begun the development of a broadband aeronautical terminal (BAT) for duplex video satellite communications on a variety of aircraft. The BAT is designed exclusively for use with NASA's K/Ka-band Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS). In the article the overall BAT system and the experiments currently planned for its demonstration are overviewed. Examples of how such a system may first be introduced as a commercial product are given. Functional descriptions of the BAT subsystems are given, with an emphasis on the antenna. The capabilities of the ACTS satellite that the BAT system will utilize are summarized.<>
