CIRCULARLY POLARIZED SPIDRON FRACTAL SLOT ANTENNA ARRAYS FOR BROADBAND SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS IN KU-BAND

Abstract

In this paper, a novel circularly polarized Spidron fractal slot antenna array developed for broadband satellite communication in the Ku-band is discussed. A Spidron fractal slot configuration was utilized as a single radiating element to achieve circularly polarized radiation. The effects of altering the feeding position on the resonance behavior and the radiative characteristics were assessed.
