In this paper we introduce a novel configuration, the patch-superstrate antenna, where we make use of a truncated superstrate for band enlargement. The antenna is, then, used to design a dual-band array in K-band (17.7-20.2 GHz) and Ka-band (27.5-30 GHz) targeting on-board satellite applications. © 2016 European Association of Antennas and Propagation.
