This looks like a good record for Brian. It discusses the design of the antenna. He wants me to print a copy of it, and I think I'll save some of these other ones in case he needs more information later. Tip 4-3

Abstract: The design of a novel phase array panel that
provides the L-band satellite to ground links for the IRIDIUM
global communications system is presented. Key components and aspects
of this phase array antenna are discussed including the beamforming
architecture, radiated intermodulation products, the patch
radiators, and the T/R module. The strategy for minimizing DC
power consumption over a large range of multicarrier RF
output power is described. Finally, test results showing
compliant array operation are summarized. (11 Refs)
