This paper presents a design of substrate integrated waveguide slot array antenna for X and Ku band applications. This is a low weight and simple profile antenna covering a vast range of frequencies. A substrate integrated waveguide is formed by two rows of metallized cylinders connecting upper and bottom layer of substrate. On the metallic plate, slot arrays are etched in a periodic fashion to achieve broad bandwidth. The SIW is excited by the microstrip feeding through a tapered transition to achieve smooth flow of current. The simulated result shows that -10 dB return loss of the proposed antenna is -35 dB, -29 dB and -22 dB at 11.1 GHz, 12.7GHz and 17.6 GHz respectively. The simulated bandwidth of the design is 7.6 GHz from 10.4-18 GHz which covers X band partially and Ku band. The gain of the antenna is about 6 dB. The proposed design is simulated using 3D full wave simulator named Ansys HFSS.

A Ku-band wideband conformal array antenna with13×19elements is presented in the paper. The array has a spherical structure, and its element is a proximity-coupled stacked patches antenna with a cavity-backed ground plane. The stacked patches and the cavity produce multiple coupled resonances, which enhance the bandwidth of the element extremely. A simulated model with the reasonable dimensions is framed with the coupling analyses, and the effective simulated results and good computing efficiency are obtained simultaneously. The measured results of the center embedded element in the whole array show a bandwidth exceeding 40%VSWR<2, which is close to the simulated matching performance.
