Abstract
An antenna system suitable for use in communicating with satellites has multiple antenna units adjacent to each other and oriented in the same direction. These antenna units are driven together in tandem in altitude and azimuth by a common drive unit. The signals received by the antenna are combined together in an in phase relationship in a combiner unit to provide received signals which reinforce each other.
