Multiband antenna design typically involves combining multiple resonant elements or feed structures tuned to different frequency ranges within a single aperture, such as pairing Ku and Ka-band feeds. Engineers use simulation tools to optimize bandwidth, isolation, and radiation pattern across all target bands, then validate performance through near-field chamber testing before finalizing the mechanical and RF integration.
