  • Abstract
    This paper presents a new broadband antenna for satellite communications. It describes the procedure involved in the design of a microstrip antenna array and its multi-level passive feed network that together yield circular polarization and the necessary gain to be used in an earth-satellite link. The designed antenna is notable for its large bandwidth, circular polarization, high gain and small dimensions.
