Abstract
A low-profile and dual-wideband circularly polarized (CP) shared aperture antenna is demonstrated for satellite-assisted Internet of Things (SATA-IoT) communications. It comprises an X-band antenna and a $4\times 4$ Ka-band antenna array, both magnetoelectric (ME) dipole structures with complementary structures, and only have $0.08{\lambda }_{\mathrm { low}}$ thickness. Four mesh-structure dipole arms are utilized for the X-band antenna to integrate the X/Ka band antenna into the limited aperture while maintaining good isolation. Meanwhile, stubs and a sequential rotation feeding (SRF) network are adopted to improve the axial ratio (AR) performance of the two antennas, respectively. The measured results indicate that the antenna achieves an overlapped bandwidth ($|S_{11}|\lt -10$ dB, AR ¡ 3) of 10.8% (8.7–9.7 GHz) and 29.32% (25.73–34.57 GHz), with isolations greater than 20 dB in both bands. The measured peak realized gains are 8.9 and 15 dBi, respectively. The proposed antenna realized exceptional low-profile and dual-wideband CP performance, making it a promising candidate for SATA-IoT communications.
