Abstract |
In this paper, a satellite array antenna operates at 12.2GHz~12.75GHz was designed and fabricated. The lowest height and high gain electrical beam tilt was obtained by applying backed slot and sub-reflector widening the distance between the patch and the GND. The simulation and measurement showed good agreements, the electrical beam tilt was 10°, the gain was 26.5dBi, the VSWR was less than 3:1 and the return loss was less than -15dB. |
