Abstract
With the development of new materials, new techniques and radio frequency microelectronics technology as well as the emergence of new requirements (such as space science exploration), spacecraft antenna technology has been kept improving. In this chapter, the application of smart reconfigurable antenna, multi-band reflector antenna, membrane phased array antenna, MEMS technology and terahertz technology in spacecraft antenna are briefly introduced.
