The feasibility of a FACS design, particularly with regard to application possibilities of satellites, was investigated. It was assumed that communication between airborne stations and air traffic control centers is exclusively possible via satellites using mainly voice communication (possibly completed by data communication). It is concluded that integration possibilities of satellites are mainly limited by the airborne antenna chosen. As a solution, phase steered microstrip antenna arrays are presented. However, the use of these antennas is limited to large (long-distance) aircraft. For operational feasibility, it is concluded that communication should take place in the high frequency band.
