Abstract
In this work, design of a five-element compact dual-polarization X band monopulse feed antenna using a 7.3 m Cassegrain-type reflector for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite ground station is presented. The designed antenna has reached 32 dB/K G/T value, the side lobe level of the designed antenna is at the level of −24 dB, the crosspolarization value is −35 dB, and the port isolation value is below −29 dB in the 8–8.5 GHz frequency range. The antenna efficiency of the designed antenna is measured as 79.93%.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Antennas and Propagation publishes papers on the design, analysis, and applications of antennas, along with theoretical and practical studies relating the propagation of electromagnetic waves at all relevant frequencies, through space, air, and other media.
As well as original research, the International Journal of Antennas and Propagation also publishes focused review articles that examine the state of the art, identify emerging trends, and suggest future directions for developing fields.
