Abstract:
A Flat, Dual-Band Array at 20 and 30 Gigahertz for Small-User Communication Terminals
A compact, lightweight and mass-producible, low-cost, flat, dual-band array antenna
will be developed. The antenna architecture is a multilayer, passive, planar array
at 20 GHz and 30 GHz. The array antenna consists of electromagnetically coupled elements.
A dual-frequency slot microstrip disc-tab and a circular polarized slot element will
be considered for the array.
The flat dual-band array antenna can be used on small-user communication terminals
to function with the advanced communications technology satellite (ACTS) that can
provide diversified services, instant access to data bases, and intersystem connectivity.
