Reflectarray for K/ka-band Terminal Antenna
نویسندگان
چکیده
Different satellite systems have been defined to provide broadband communications and internet access in remote geographical areas in Ka band (20-30 GHz) [1-2], being the up-link at 30 GHz and the down-link at 20 GHz. Costeffective antennas are required for fixed and portable terminals in Ka-band. Conventional reflectors are a preferred option to maintain reduced costs. However, the different receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) frequencies obliges to use either a dual-frequency horn or two independent horns. The dual-frequency horn presents some difficulties, mainly because the phase-centre is different at each frequency, which would cause a reduction of the antenna gain. The use of independent feeds for Tx and Rx is simpler, but this solution is not possible using reflector antennas, because the two horns located at different positions cannot generate a beam in the same direction.
