In this contribution a dual-band, dual-polarized microstrip antenna element for array applications is presented. The patch antenna is designed to operate simultaneously at around 30 and 20 GHz, the up- and downlink frequencies of modern Ka-band satellite communication systems. The antenna is smaller than half the freespace wavelength at 30 GHz to enable its utilization as array element of dual-band ground terminals. Integrating transmitter and receiver circuits allows, in turn, for a very compact active terminal solution. To minimize production cost, the design is carried out in standard multilayer printed circuit board technology. The antenna features two distinct polarization ports suitable for either dual linear or dual circular polarization if both ports are excited in quadrature. The single antenna design process is described in detail and simulation and measurement results are presented. Finally, different arrays based on this patch antenna are evaluated by simulation and measurements.

Dual Polarized

MISO (Multiple-Input Single-Output) similar architecture of most terrestrial wireless network networks instead of more and more scientists striving to apply MISO technology to satellite technology, it can be used to achieve a lower rate of application bit error and risk of complications, while managing increased power boost technology. In mitigating the phenomenon increasingly crowded networks, sites, and increasingly strained sources and frequency of orbital interacting. That channel electricity, bit error rate, and single-band dual-polarized probabilities of MISO outage communication systems are evaluated in the paper. In the first step, when the XPD (Cross-Polarization Discrimination) antenna in a certain organism is greater than 1. With the XPD change, the channel throughput increases in scale linearly. Second, under BPSK modulation, it analyses the bit error rate BER of the specification. The design incorporates a sufficiently low (BER) when the SNR is substantial; analysis of the frequency of outage of a distributed MISO system demonstrated when the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is massive, the handset would maintain the prospect of an outage low enough. Assessment of the spectral range of satellite communication, in the analysis process, the criteria of the rice channel are applied to the channel, review excluding certain traits of the dual-polarized satellite MISO. The public would provide great feedback for the productivity of the future of MISO satellite technology. In a previous paper, the author designed a channel modeling dual-band for satellite communication using the MIMO technique. Using this technique, the system cannot achieve greater performance and at the same time using a dual-band will decrease the system's capability. To decrease the above issues, the paper introduces a new method called the MISO system. Using the MISO technique, the system can gain high performance and the system will get greater bandwidth, BER, and SNR. The advantage of using single-band dual-polarized is, uplink and a downlink frequency of the satellite can be calculated very easily and accurately.

AbstractThis contribution deals with array elements for K/Ka-band satellite communication terminals. It proposes an end-fire design realized in substrate integrated waveguide technology and featuring dual-band functionality, and dual circular polarization. The latter is achieved by means of a dual-band orthomode transducer. An extended hemispherical dielectric lens ensures good matching and radiation properties. The feed structure is composed of a multilayer printed circuit board and tapered superstrates. The design procedure of the components is explained in detail and three different variants of the antenna are compared. The measured scattering and far-field parameters validate the concept.

Abstract This contribution deals with a frontend for interleaved receive (Rx)-/transmit (Tx)-integrated phased arrays at K-/Ka-band. The circuit is realized in printed circuit board technology and feeds dual-band Rx/Tx- and single-band Tx-antenna elements. The dual-band element feed is composed of a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) diplexer with low insertion loss, a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a bandpass filter, and several passive transitions. The compression properties of the LNA are identified through two-tone measurements. The results dictate the maximum allowable output power of the power amplifier. The single band feed consists of a SIW with several transitions. Simulation and measurement results of the individual components are presented. The frontend is assembled and measured. It exhibits an Rx noise figure of 2 dB, a Tx insertion loss of ~ 2.9 dB, and an Rx/Tx-isolation of 70 dB. The setup represents the unit cell of a full array and thus complies with the required half-wave spacing at both Rx and Tx.
