Inhalt:
This paper deals with a modular Rx- and Tx-antenna terminal featuring digital beamforming (DBF) at Ka-band frequencies. Background and vision of the project SANTANA II and recent realizations are described. Different system components are outlined covering digital baseband, RF- and IF-level as well as software aspects. An outlook on mobile field tests, which will be reported at the conference, concludes this contribution.
