A low-profile and dual-wideband circularly polarized shared aperture antenna is demonstrated for Satellite-Assisted Internet of Things (SATA-IoT) communications. It comprises an X-band antenna and a 4×4 Ka-band antenna array, both Magnetoelectric (ME) dipole structures with complementary structures, and only have 0.08λlow thickness. Four mesh-structure dipole arms are utilized for the X-band antenna to integrate the X/Ka band antenna into the limited aperture while maintaining good isolation. Meanwhile, stubs and a Sequential Rotation Feeding (SRF) network are adopted to improve the Axial Ratio (AR) performance of the two antennas, respectively. The measured results indicate that the antenna achieves an overlapped bandwidth (|S11|< -10 dB, AR < 3) of 10.8% (8.7-9.7 GHz) and 29.32% (25.73-34.57 GHz), with isolations greater than 20 dB in both bands. The measured peak realized gains are 8.9 dBi and 15 dBi, respectively. The proposed antenna realized exceptional low-profile and dual-wideband CP performance, making it a promising candidate for SATA-IoT communications.
