Abstract

Microstrip patch antennas are widely used in modern satellite communication due to their small size, low profile, and ease of manufacturing. This paper presents the design and analysis of a Microstrip antenna appropriate for Ku-band (12-18GHz) satellite communication applications. The recommended design was produced using CST software and has a resonance frequency of 12.918GHz, a return loss (S11) of –43.4003dB, and a VSWR of 1.013, all of which show excellent impedance matching. The antenna outperforms the reference design in essential properties, particularly bandwidth and S-parameters, with a broad bandwidth of 0.83 GHz, gain of 5.21 dBi, and directivity of 7.08 dBi. The results show that the recommended antenna is a reliable and effective choice for high-data-rate satellite communication systems.
