Abstract
A novel tri-frequency (C, X and Ku) bands with dual-linear polarized each, multi-
layer microstrip antenna single element is proposed and presented. The triple band operation is
obtained by using two antenna elements, one for a dual-band resonance at C and X bands with
dual linear polarization and above is for the Ku band (also with dual linear polarized behav-
ior). The feeding mechanism for the dual antenna element is an aperture coupling through cross
shaped slot with different shaped feeding ports (to enhance isolation). The Ku band antenna
element has an electromagnetically coupled microstrip T-junction feed for one polarization and
a direct feeding for the orthogonal polarization. The multilayer microstrip element exhibits a
selective frequency band of operation, good isolation among the different feeding ports, good
directivity pattern and high gain for both polarizations at all frequency bands. The performance
of the proposed antenna was simulated using a commercial software based on the Finite Ele-
ment Method (FEM) algorithm. The proposed antenna is designed to meet the requirements
of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), where multiple frequency with dual linear polarization is
needed.
