Abstract

This paper presents a new dualband shared-aperture microstrip antenna to operate in the S-Band of 2 GHz and X-Band of 8 GHz, for a Low Earth Orbit satellite antenna system. The proposed antenna incorporates two types of patches those are a rectangular loop-shaped for the S-Band and a square patch for the X-Band. Each patch are optimized for its respective operating band with minimal interference. The proposed antenna achieves a bandwidth of 16 MHz in the S-Band and 572 MHz in the X-Band. The highest gain is measured 7.14 dBi at 1.99 GHz and 7.95 dBi at 7.88 GHz. The proposed antenna exhibits half power beamwidths of 85 degree and 80 degree at 1.99 GHz and 7.88 GHz, respectively. The proposed dualband shared-aperture microstrip antenna may be a good candidate for as a feeding system of a dualband reflectarray antenna With its unidirectional radiation pattern from excellent agreement between simulation and measurement results.
