This paper presents the design of a dual-band microstrip antenna with dual polarization characteristic for high altitude platforms (HAPs). The antenna has two isolated ports and is suitable for terminals with receiving and transmitting functions operating simultaneously. The element is designed for operation at 5.8 and 7 GHz with 100 MHz bandwidth in each band. The antenna geometry and its main design parameters are presented and discussed in the paper. Numerical and experimental results show that this radiator exhibits good performance in terms of impedance matching and circular polarization purity.
