Design of an E Shaped Microstrip Patch Antenna for Ku Band Application

Abstract

A new modified E shape specific Microstrip patch antenna (MPA) is developed and evaluated for Wi-Fi applications in this article. The planned antenna works between 12 and 19 GHz with a return loss of less than -10 dB, covering the entire KU band with high gain. The proposed antenna is modeled using HFSS simulation software on a Rogers RT/duroid 5880 substrate with a dielectric constant of 2.2 and a thickness of 1.575 mm. The proposed antenna has a total area of 30×30 mm2 and a useful bandwidth of 7 GHZ. Here 11×14×0.035 mm3 is the size of the antenna that has been installed. Satellite communication, downlink, satellite television, NASA’s data tracking all benefit from the planned antenna, which resonates at 12.32 GHz, 13.88 GHz, 15.68 GHz, 16.88 GHz for HFSS and gain and directivity are 10.58 dB and 10.22 dBi, respectively .Better return loss and VSWR (2) are obtained by simulations. The same design has also been analyzed by using CST Studio Suite to exhilarate the performance of the proposed antenna.
