Abstract :
This paper presents the simulation, design, fabrication, and measurement of a high-bandwidth Fabry-Perot cavity array antenna for the Ku-band. Starting with the design and analysis of one single feed antenna, that has a 3 dB realized gain bandwidth covering the satellite broadcast downlink band from 10.7 GHz to 12.75 GHz, an extension to a 3 x 3 array is presented.
