Abstract
Phased arrays on satellites that approximate/emulate the shape of a rounded triangle such that elliptical apertures can be generated in any desired direction while requiring the minimum possible phased array area. The common shapes for phased arrays are circular, square, or hexagonal, with circular phased arrays often being viewed as the preferred shape. However, it is shown here that rounded triangular phased arrays can be generated to accommodate elliptical apertures as necessary to serve the field of view beneath a satellite and do so with fewer antennas than their circular counterparts. For applications where elliptical apertures are desirable, such as satellite-to-Earth communications, the rounded triangular model for phased arrays is demonstrably more efficient than the circular model.
