High Rate User Phased Array (HRUPA) AntennaA prototype of the Ka-band HRUPA antenna has been fabricated by Harris for NASA as a lightweight, low power, electronically steerable, satellite-based antenna that operates near 26 GHz.The HRUPA employs circular MPA elements in a triangular unit-cell configuration. Each activeMPA, dual-fed for CP, includes a passive parasitic element above it to broaden its bandwidth. Aplanar scanning system by Nearfield Systems Incorporated (NSI) was used by GSFC staff in MSBto collect the near-field measurements and convert them via software algorithm to far-fieldpatterns by Fourier Transform.

Theteams were given the following instructions: 1. Create or revise the departmental organization chart. In addition, briefly list each person’s tasks or duties under the person’s name. The objective is to understand the focus and structure of the department. 2. Document each process by: a. Interviewing the person/people who perform each specific process. b.

designconsists of a staged approach to curriculum design, consisting of 1) identify desired results, 2)determine acceptable evidence, and 3) plan learning experiences and instruction. To identifydesired results, curriculum designers should identify knowledge associated with the subject beinglearned and prioritize that knowledge in one of three types (2): (a) “enduring” understanding, (b)important to know and do, and (c) worth being familiar with. Acceptable evidence that thedesired results have been achieved requires assessment of learning. Assessment may be one ofthree general types: content-focused quiz and test questions, open-ended problems that requirecritical thinking, and authentic performance tasks and projects.
