Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a compact dual-band two-element array antenna in a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) configuration for C-band applications. A new geometry based on an asymmetric composite right–left-handed transmission line cells was suggested for the single antenna element. The proposed geometry has the advantage of having arbitrary dual-frequency design. The array elements are fed with a wideband SIW impedance transformer. The results indicate that the proposed antenna element size is only 15 × 12.8 mm2, which approximately represents up to 70% size reduction at similar frequencies. The radiation properties of the array antenna have broadside radiation pattern at the two bands. The detailed analytical design explanation, full wave simulations, and experimental measurements are introduced.
