Abstract
|The uplink and downlink of modern satellite communication systems operate on different frequency bands. A novel dual-band dual circular polarization (cid:12)lter antenna with a single port is proposed in this paper. The dual-band characteristic of the antenna is obtained by exciting stacked patches. The antenna supports right-handed circular polarization (RHCP) at lower frequency band and left-handed circular polarization (LHCP) at higher frequency band, respectively. The feeding network is realized with a strip line, and the antenna can be equivalent to a parallel circuit. If the lower frequency patch works, the higher frequency patch presents high impedance, and vice versa. Therefore, the antenna has excellent (cid:12)ltering performance. The measurements of antenna prototype are in good agreement with the simulation results. The impedance bandwidth is 5.80{6.10 GHz and 9.20{10.64 GHz, and the axial ratio (AR) bandwidth is 40 MHz for lower band and 180 MHz for higher band, respectively. Meanwhile, the radiation pattern is stable in the operation frequency bands.
