Abstract :
The design of an antenna element for concurrent Ku-band and Ka-band operation is presented. The antenna element is designed on multi-layered PCB, as part of a phased array system with direct RF integrated circuits (RFICs) integration. Full-wave 3D electromagnetic simulations are presented.
