Abstract

As satellite communications services are showing gradual growth, so are the needs for dual or tri-band antennas greater than performance of conventional single-band antennas. In this paper, a simultaneously operable tri-band antenna for SATCOM(Satellite Communications) is proposed. It is different from conventional methods of implementing tri-band through replaceable horns, while it is designed with a tri-band feed assembly composed of corrugated and dielectric horns and reflectors of gregorian type to transmit and receive tri-band of X, Ku and Ka band simultaneously. And simulated and measured values were compared and analyzed for characteristics of the proposed antenna. In the results, radiation patterns of the proposed tri-band antenna were close to the simulated ones and also met specifications.

위성통신 서비스가 점점 증가함에 따라 단일대역 안테나의 성능을 넘어서는 이중대역 또는 삼중대역 안테나의 필요성도 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 위성통신용 삼중대역 동시사용 안테나를 제안한다. 교체형 혼을 통해 삼중대역을 구현하는 일반적인 다중대역 안테나와는 달리 주름형 혼과 유전체 혼으로 구성된 삼중대역 급전부 조립체 및 그레고리안 타입의 반사판을 사용하여 삼중대역(X, Ku, Ka대역) 신호의 동시 송수신을 가능하게 한다. 제안된 안테나의 특성은 모의실험과 실제측정으로 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 제안된 삼중대역 안테나의 방사패턴은 모의실험 계산결과와 비슷한 성능을 보였고, 규격 또한 만족하였다.
