Antenna uplink array technology can provide high far-field power to greatly increase deep-space TT&C and communications capabilities. The aggregate EIRP of an N-elements antenna array is proportional to N2. To spacecraft low-gain antennas, the high EIRP is especially important for high rate uplinks or emergency command. In this paper, layout considerations for small-scale antenna uplink arrays...
