The contribution talks about the application of AESA technology for telemetry ground antennas. The AESA concept we are proposing is a 1-axis electronically steerable antenna (elevation axis), while the azimuth axis remains mechanically driven. The design will lead to a 1m² antenna, dedicated to short - medium range telemetry, with potential high target dynamics. This paper introduces the concept and details the design with the first mock-up, which was manufactured and measured. The results present a very important knowledge in the establishment of phase controls for beam-steering, and in the control of the axial ratio. Then, this document focuses on the development of a complete prototype for an evaluation at the end of 2022.Type
