Tri-band Microstrip Patch Antenna for Satellite Communication

A compact and high gain micro strip patch antenna is proposed for satellite communication. The antenna covers the frequency of C-band, X-band and Ku-band. The proposed antenna having the maximum reflection coefficient of -28.076 at 13.13GHz. This antenna achieves high gain and directivity. Four circular slots are inserted into the rectangular patch of the antenna. Low cost FR4 dielectric is used as a substrate material. The antenna provides the bandwidth of 14GHz. The gain achieved by the antenna is 3.04dBi at 4GHz, 4.90dBi at 8GHz, 1.88dBi at 12GHz and 8.29dBi at 18GHz. The design and simulation of the Microstrip antenna is done by Advanced Design System(ADS) software 2016 version.
