Abstract
In this paper, a low-profile dual circularly polarized (CP) antenna for Ku band satellite communication is proposed. A quarter-mode SIW (QMSIW) is designed as a circular polarization unit, which realizes circular polarization by using high-order mode TE130, and a pair of units are combined to form the antenna proposed in this paper. Feeding different units can realize left-handed circular polarization and right-handed circular polarization, respectively. The antenna impedance bandwidth is 5.66 GHz (15.16 GHz-20.82 GHz); the circular polarization bandwidth (CPBW) is 540 MHz (15.64 GHz-16.18 GHz); and the gain in the passband is 5.1 dBi, with a minimum axial ratio (AR) of 1 dB. The thickness of the antenna is only 1.5 mm, which has obvious low-profile characteristics.
