The purpose of this study is the evaluation and the development of an antenna system beam-switching integrated to an inflatable support. Three environmental scenarios have been evaluated: space, ground fixed and mobile. It could be used aboard a High-Altitude LTA platform or spacecraft for the fulfilment of the TT&C functions with improved performance of several db. It could be arranged in a transportable terminal 'briefcase' type, without increasing costs and minimum dimensions. It could be used in moving vehicles, land, or sea (but also airplanes) to achieve performances that can offer significant gains without requiring complicated mechanisms and wear of parts.
