Abstract :
This publication presents a leaky-wave antenna panel comprised of a dual-layer partially reflective surface intended for transmit and receive operations in Ka-band. Several of these panels are installed on the outdoor-unit of a low-profile user-terminal intended for satellite communication on the move during emergency scenarios. Given the widely separated up- and downlink-frequencies in Ka-band, the antenna panel provides a dual-band behaviour and offers circular polarisation. This paper presents the design of the antenna in detail and discusses simulation and measurement results.
