Abstract

This paper presents a novel dual-band waveguide-fed circularly polarised (CP) horn antenna for the feeder of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) onboard microsatellite. The proposed horn antenna consists of an asymmetric linearly tapered slot and a waveguide feed. The C-/X-band left-hand circular polarisation (LHCP) design was simulated, and the 3D-printed prototype was fabricated to validate the simulation and measured in an anechoic chamber. The measured circularly polarised (CP) antenna can achieve dual-band operations with a 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 40% (5–6.5 GHz; 8.5–10 GHz), VSWR less than 1.4 in the operating band and a peak gain of 13.6 dBic (5.3 GHz) and 18.5 dBic (9.4 GHz). The measured half-power beamwidth (HPBW) at C-band and X-band frequencies in the xz-plane and yz-plane are achieved at 26°/37° and 18°/23°, respectively. The proposed antenna offers several advantages over current CP antenna designs, including simpler design, low-cost manufacturing, better impedance matching, wider AR bandwidth and lower sidelobe levels.

用于微卫星合成孔径雷达馈线的双频圆极化非对称线锥喇叭天线
提出了一种新型双频波导馈电圆极化喇叭天线,用于微卫星合成孔径雷达馈线。所提出的喇叭天线由非对称线性锥形槽和波导馈电组成。模拟了C / x波段左圆偏振(LHCP)设计,并制作了3d打印原型来验证模拟并在消声室中进行了测量。所测圆极化(CP)天线可实现双频工作,3db轴比带宽为40% (5-6.5 GHz;工作频段的驻波比小于1.4,峰值增益分别为13.6 dBic (5.3 GHz)和18.5 dBic (9.4 GHz)。在xz平面和yz平面的c波段和x波段频率分别达到26°/37°和18°/23°的半功率波束宽度(HPBW)。与目前的CP天线设计相比,该天线具有几个优点,包括设计更简单、制造成本更低、阻抗匹配更好、AR带宽更宽、旁瓣电平更低。
