A review is presented of the trade-offs and technology challenges that exist in developing the multiple-beam satellite antennas for NASA's Personal Access Satellite System. Different types of multiple-beam antenna systems that can provide full coverage of the CONUS such as switched beam, fixed beam, or scanned beam systems are examined. Some techniques for interbeam power management for efficient utilization of satellite power and reliable operation are discussed.
