Single Layer Monopole Slotted Microstrip Antenna for Ku-Band Applications

A Slotted microstrip patch antenna for Ku band is designed and thoroughly simulated in this paper. The designed antenna is worked at Resonant frequency of 14.25 GHz in Ku band and that can be used in Satellite Communication for Satellite Tv, DBS services, satellite tracking etc. It is shown that the simulated results are in acceptable agreement. More importantly, it is also shown that the microstrip antenna has higher gain of simulated 2.262dB at 14.25GHz and very low return losses -34.796db at 14.25 Ghz. Bandwidth of 0.35 Ghz And a VSWR of 0.3163db.
