Özet

This study presents the design of a dual-band cavity-backed phased array antenna with wide-angle scanning capability in K/Ka bands for the geostationary (GSO)-fixed satellite service (FSS). To reduce the losses and mutual coupling, a novel antenna element similar to the cavity-backed Strip-Slot-Air-Inverted-Patch (SSAIP) is proposed as an element of designed array of 81 elements. Wide-angle scanning up to 60 degrees is achieved at both frequency bands of the operation. The developed antenna is suitable for seamless installation on both land and air vehicles for bi-directional SatCom systems.
