The invention provides a low-profile low-elevation high-
gain circularly polarized electromagnetic
dipole antenna for
satellite communication, and belongs to the field of
satellite mobile communication. According to the antenna, the electric
dipole radiation arms are designed into specific fan shapes, so that the
impedance bandwidth of the antenna is effectively expanded; the beam width of the antenna is expanded through the parasitic
magnetic dipole, and the
gain at the low
elevation angle is increased; meanwhile, a novel AMC structure (an artificial magnetic conductor reflecting surface) is adopted and is suitable for an electromagnetic
dipole antenna, the AMC structure is compact, the design is simple, and the profile height of the antenna can be effectively reduced; and an
air layer is introduced between the
dielectric substrate and the AMC, so that the
impedance bandwidth of the antenna is widened, and the
gain of the antenna is increased. Therefore, the overall size of the antenna is 0.48[
lambda]0*0.48[
lambda]0*0.054[
lambda]0([lambda]0 is the working
wavelength at the
center frequency point of the antenna), and the antenna has the characteristics of
miniaturization and low profile.
