The disclosure is directed to an antenna assembly (1) comprising a horizontally polarized Vivaldi-type first antenna (5). The first antenna (5) comprises a horizontally polarized first radiator (6) extending in a horizontal plane (xy) having a flower-shaped outline comprising several tapered slots (7) arranged distributed around a radiator center (8). The first radiator (6) is horizontally (xy) extending with respect to the radiator center (8) in an outward direction. In vertical direction (z), the radiator extends by a certain thickness (t). A base plate (9) arranged at a certain distance below the radiator (6) interconnected to the radiator (6) by at least one post (10). A power divider (11) and a feeding stub (12) per tapered slot (7) are arranged between the base plate (9) and the first radiator (6). interconnected to the first radiator (6) for coupling radio signals into the first radiator (6).

This application provides a wireless data terminal and a wireless data terminal control system. The wireless data terminal includes a housing, a drive assembly, a first antenna assembly, and a second antenna assembly. The drive assembly can drive the first antenna assembly and the second antenna assembly to extend or retract to move in different directions between a first location and a second location. When the wireless data terminal does not need to be used or high isolation between antennas is not required, the drive assembly may drive the antenna assembly to retract to the first location, so that a volume occupied by the wireless data terminal can be reduced while an antenna isolation requirement is met. When high isolation between the antennas is required, the drive assembly may drive the antenna assembly to extend to the second location, so that isolation between the antennas is increased.

A field-assembled satellite communications terminal has a plurality of discrete, modular aperture blocks. Each aperture block contains an electrically steered antenna aperture, and a plurality of interconnection ports for power and data communications between the plurality of aperture blocks. The plurality of interconnection ports are removably connectable by the end user in the field.
