Design of a Series Feed Aperture Coupled Ku-Band Microstrip Antenna Array for Bi-Directional Satellite Communication

In this study, a series-feed aperture coupling microstrip antenna array is designed to cover the entire Ku band (10.95-12.75 GHz download and 13.75-14.5 GHz upload frequencies) for fixed satellite services. Designed antenna simply enables bi-drectional satellite communication for mobile personnel and wehicles with its low profile, inexpensive production and integrability to electromechanical platform.
