Abstract: We present a novel broadband circularly polarized (CP) antenna with filtering effect for X- and Ku-band satellite wireless communication. The structure comprises a driven layer (also a filtering layer) and a stacked layer (also a CP layer). The bandpass filtering response consists of two radiation nulls, which is the combined effect of a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity-backed aperture and embedded driven patch. The chamfered patch is introduced as the stacked component with the ability to achieve CP and widen the operating bandwidth. A prototype with a compact layout of 0.8λ₀×0.71λ₀×0.16λ₀ is fabricated using a multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) process for demonstration. Experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation results, and show that the measured -10-dB impedance bandwidth and 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth are 10.83% and 15.54%, respectively. In addition, a peak gain of 8.9 dBic for left-hand circular polarization (LHCP), an average in-band gainLHCP > 7 dBic, and good frequency selectivity are obtained.
