Fragmented aperture for the Ka/K/Ku frequency bands

摘要

A system, device, and method for a broad-band array antenna are presented. More particularly, the application relates to a broad-band fragmented aperture phased array antenna for the Ka, K, and/or Ku frequency bands. In various exemplary embodiments, the antenna system may support dynamic polarization degradation correction. In one exemplary embodiment a method and system for a broad-band fragmented aperture phased array antenna for the Ka, K, and/or Ku frequency band is presented. In one exemplary embodiment, the fragmented aperture design functions in one or more of the Ku-band, K-band, and/or Ka-band. In another exemplary embodiment, the antenna system may include full electronic polarization agility. In one exemplary embodiment, the antenna system may further comprise a printed circuit board radiating element. The printed circuit board radiating element may be configured to function as an antenna. In one exemplary embodiment, the antenna system may support operation over multiple frequency bands.
