High Gain Dual-Frequency Dual-Circularly Polarized Fabry Perot Resonant Cavity Antenna for Ku Band

Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, Vol. 125, 1-7, 2025
Abstract
To explore higher-performance satellite communication antennas, a dual-frequency dual-circularly polarized antenna based on a Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonant cavity is proposed in this letter. An artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is loaded onto the resonant cavity as a partial reflection surface (PRS) to reduce the profile. The electromagnetic (EM) waves from the feeder are reflected multiple times within the cavity and subsequently superimposed in phase, thereby enabling dual-frequency operation and high gain. Right-handed circularly polarized (RHCP) and left-handed circularly polarized (LHCP) waves are respectively generated in the lower and higher frequency bands by incorporating a dual-frequency polarization conversion surface (PCS). Two rectangular microstrip patch antennas with a simple feeding network are employed as the feeder for RHCP and LHCP, respectively. The measurement results show that the operating bandwidth is 4.77% (12.47-13.08 GHz) for the low-frequency band and 5.36% (16.51-17.42 GHz) for the high-frequency band. The maximum gains of 14.91 dBi and 14.33 dBi are achieved for the lower and higher frequency bands, respectively. The proposed antenna fulfills the requirements of the frequency division duplex satellite communication system, providing a promising candidate for ground equipment in high-speed satellite Internet applications.
