Systems and methods can support a portable aperture array antenna system having a support structure of a substantially hemispherical geometry formed of a plurality of rigid linear elements. A membrane may be positioned upon an outer surface of the support structure. A plurality of antenna elements may be positioned coplanar to the membrane. A radio frequency transmission assembly may operate to couple output signals from the antenna elements into one or more signal-processing modules. The signal-processing modules may be configured to model the motion of two or more satellites, focus electromagnetic beams in the respective directions of the satellites, and steer the electromagnetic beams from horizon to horizon to follow the satellites simultaneously without motion of physical components.
