“…In terms of air-to-ground transmission, the authors in [ 8 ] demonstrated a simplex communication link operating in 71–76 GHz between a microlight aircraft and a ground terminal. The aircraft flew with 1000 m height above the ground with a constant speed of 100 km/h, while the link can sustain a stable rate of 9.8 Gbps within 12 km.…”

“…A terrestrial E-band link could be more easily impaired by shadow fading and earth curvature compared to other cases, such as aeronautics and air-to-ground communication. However, with the advance in antenna, high-power semiconductors, and advanced DSP techniques, various E-band communication systems with extensive coverage (tens of km) and high capacity (tens of Gbps) have been extensively emerging, both in terrestrial [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ], and air-to-ground [ 8 , 9 ] scenario.…”

Long-range E-band communication with fiber-equivalent speed is emerging extensively as a critical technology in the next-generation communication. This paper firstly reviews the relevant progress in recent research. A brief survey is presented on high-speed, long-range E-band communication systems and their relevant techniques that are essential to the link design, including antenna, power amplifier (PA), channel, and digital baseband processing. In the second part, we review our recent field trial of a long-range air-to-ground E-band link, which maintains steady transmission from a slow-moving helium balloon to the ground station with a vertical dimension of 20 km. The improvement directions and future research topics are then discussed.

“…E-band (71-76 GHz/81-86 GHz) has a light spectrum regulation worldwide and can provide an available bandwidth of 10 GHz. Additionally, the atmospheric attenuation of E-band is only about 0.5 dB/km in clear weather conditions [4] . E-band is a very promising frequency band for the next generation of air-toground wireless links [5,6] .…”

This paper presents an E-band reflector antenna fed by dual circularly polarized feed system. Axial displaced ellipse reflector is adopted for high gain and low blockage mechanisms. The feed system mainly composed of orthomode transducer, iris polarizer and horn antenna, and possesses dual circular polarization. The orthomode transducer offers high isolation performance in broadband by double symmetry and the iris polarizer achieves phase shift by introducing discontinuities. In addition, the ridge and iris in the feed are optimized to be wide enough to fabricate and maintain good mechanical properties in higher frequency band. The entire antenna is simulated and fabricated. The measured gain of 45 ± 1.2 dBi corresponds to about 52% efficiency. The measured results of reflection coefficients less than −18 dB, isolation over 27 dB, axial-ratio value less than 2.3 dB are achieved from 71 to 86 GHz.
