This paper presents an original solution to design a compact dual circularly polarized isoflux antenna for nanosatellite applications. This kind of antenna has been previously designed in our laboratory, for a single circular polarization. This antenna is composed of a dual circularly polarized feed and a choke horn antenna. This feed is a cross-shaped slot in the ground plane, which provides coupling between a patch and a ring microstrip line with two ports. It is located at the center of a choke horn antenna. The simulated antenna presents an axial ratio <3 dB and a realized gain close to 0 dB over a 400 MHz bandwidth (8.0–8.4 GHz) at the limit of coverage, i.e. 65° whatever the azimuth angle (φ) and the port. A 20 dB matching for each port and 13 dB isolation characteristics between the two ports have been achieved on this bandwidth. It has been realized and successfully measured.

The article presents the methodology for designing and optimizing of feed network for a circularly polarized horn antenna. A horn antenna has a metal structure and consists of a waveguide that has a variable cross-section and an open radiating end. Electromagnetic waves in such antenna are excited by a waveguide that is connected to a horn antenna in through the narrow wall. The proposed feed network of the horn antenna consists of a rectangular waveguide with a slot. In order to obtain the excitation of signals with circular polarization at the output, a slot was cut in the waveguide at an angle of 45º. As a result, the network makes it possible to form the signals with right-hand circular polarization and left-hand circular polarization. The presented design of the horn antenna feed network eliminates the need to develop a separate waveguide device of polarization processing. The designed feed network of the circularly polarized horn antenna can be used at an operating frequency of 8.0 GHz. At these frequency the reflection coefficient is less than −19 dB. The proposed horn antenna provides a maximum gain of 21 dB for right-hand circular polarization and a maximum gain of 10 dB for left-hand circular polarization. Cross-polarization isolation is higher than 10 dB. Therefore, the developed feed network of the horn antenna provides narrowband operating mode at the circular polarization with satisfying electromagnetic polarization characteristics and matching at the frequency of 8 GHz. Developed feed network of the horn antenna with circular polarization can be used in radio engineering systems, which carry out polarization processing of signals.
