A novel hybrid dual polarized waveguide phased array antenna for mobile satellite communication

This paper presents novel Ku-band waveguide phased array antenna concepts for Mobile Satellite Communications. The array is based on multiple layers hybrid mechanical electronic steerable solutions. The design provides transmit and receive functions. The forward link of satellite communication is 12.25 to 12.75GHz, and the return link is 14.0 to 14.5GHz, which is for a bi-directional communication link between the satellite and user terminals. The product is designed for integration in land vehicles and aircrafts.
