Abstract
Satellite communication systems for mounting on vehicles are commonly based on phased array antennas with electronical beam steering. In this work we develop active metasurface-based receive-transmit antenna arrays for newly deployed satellite constellation system running in Ku-band. Both receive and transmit subarrays are based on patch-antenna elements driven in circular polarization using 90∘ hybrids. In both subarrays we optimized elements sizes and array period to have optimal ellipticity, gain, side lobe level. In electromagnetic simulations we achieved realized gain of 32.2 dBi for the Rx subarray and 33.4 dBi for the Tx subarray obtained in a broad scanning angle range from − 15∘ to + 45∘.
