Abstract:This paper presents a circularly polarized double wall substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) fractal slot antenna array designed for X-band satellite applications. The proposed antenna demonstrates a reflection coefficient, covering the frequency range from 7.3 GHz to 8.5 GHz. The antenna is circularly polarized with a 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth ranging from 7.88 GHz to 8.58 GHz. The antenna array exhibits a gain variation between 11 dBi and 12.51 dBi. Moreover, the proposed design achieves an efficiency of 89%… Show more
