Abstract

Shared aperture antennas (SAAs) are becoming more popular due to their desirable traits such as miniaturization and cost reduction. However, incorporating a high frequency ratio in an SAA typically results in increased PCB fabrication costs or additional manufacturing complexity. In this work, we present the design concept and simulation results of a circularly polarized SAA with a profile of tenth of a wavelength at the lowest frequency. The SAA simulations indicate a -10-dB active reflection coefficient bandwidth of 292 MHz for the S-band and -9-dB total active reflection coefficient bandwidth of 1.071 GHz within a +/-40°2D beam steering range for the X-band. The S-band element is realized with an inter-band filtering dipole that is co-located in the same plane as the 4× 4 X-band array that utilizes slot antennas as radiating elements.
