Abstract:
Newer microwave and millimeter-wave systems are in higher demand to satisfy emerging
communications difficulties in terms of size, bandwidth, and gain. As a result, antennas are
commonly utilized to meet satellite communication demands. Different applications are
accessible in different frequency ranges in satellite communication. Researchers are
constantly trying to enhance the bandwidth and gain for Microstrip Patch antennas (MPAs).
Using the Ansys HFSS and CST Studio Suite 3D EM simulation software a new optimized
MPA is designed. The proposed antenna is an inset feed partial ground MPA structure that
has resonance frequencies of 8.45 GHz, 9.95 GHz, and 13.17 GHz, with a bandwidth of 6.7
GHz. It operates at frequencies ranging from 7.9 GHz to 14.6 GHz covering the complete Xband and lower portion of Ku band. The planned antenna is 23.8×28.2×1.6 mm3 in size, with
FR-4 Epoxy as the substrate which has a dielectric constant of 2.2 and loss tangent of 0.02.
The antenna can be used for terrestrial broadband, uplink and downlink of satellite, mobilesatellite service, broadcasting satellite services, secure military communication, military
satellite communication, direct broadcast satellite TV relay, fixed satellite service, amateur
radio, weather monitoring , air traffic control, maritime vessel traffic control and radar
application.
