Abstract :
A new dual-frequency dual-polarized array antenna for airborne applications is presented. Two planar arrays with ultra-thin substrates are integrated to provide a simultaneous operation of S-band and X-band. The ultra- thin array can be easily placed on the aircraft fuselage due to its lightweight and conformal structure, and will be useful for the use of wireless communications, radar, remote sensing, and surveillance.
