(2) Firstly, we introduced our airborne satellite communication system and helicopter of that. And we has developed a new satellite communication antenna by combining the technologies of satellite communication antenna on the move and phased array antenna. (3) Secondly, we introduced the production results of phased array antenna on the move. These results mean that MELCO has the capability of product like MELCO s Ka-band AESA antenna. (4) Lastly, we introduced the development progress of MELCO s AESA antenna. In 2017, we tried a prototype TX-AESA, and confirmed the measurement results as designed. 33
