The antenna also features advancements in spectrum usage; dynamic interference mitigation to and from other satellites; enhanced processing power; and the ability to perform on-the-fly reconfiguration of antenna characteristics to enable end-terminals to support and communicate within a hybrid satcom system of NGSO and Geostationary&nbsp;Satellite (GEO)&nbsp;systems, according to the company.<\/p>\n<p>The Viasat phased array is based on proprietary flat panel core technology, inclusive of a new Radio Frequency (RF) integrated circuit and a modular approach that enables multiple types of user terminals \u2014 from residential broadband and in-flight Wi-Fi to connected car and backhaul applications \u2014 to keep pace with growing broadband connectivity demands. The current phased array uses a dual-beam flat panel antenna system operating in the full Ka- frequency band with an ability to be customized for Ku-band applications.
