description In this paper, a dual-band high-gain planar corrugated antenna is presented for applications in space and satellite communications. An analytic method based on the unit-cell analysis of a corrugated structure is presented to estimate the resonant frequency of the corrugated antenna where the maximum broadside gain happens. Therefore, the design of periodic corrugated antenna structures, which is very time-consuming due to the large size of the structure, is reduced to the design of a unit-cell of the structure which is very fast. A 2D corrugated (bull's-eye) antenna structure is then parametrically studied to find the parameters which affect the resonant frequency of the corrugated structures. A dual-band bull's-eye antenna with an integrated feeder structure at center is designed for the center frequencies of 9.7 GHz and 13.85 GHz. The dual-band operation is enabled using two different corrugations realized on two laminate boards. A prototype is fabricated and measured maximum broadside realized gains of 15. 8 and 17.5 dBi are achieved for the first and second bands, respectively.
