Abstract
This article presents the architecture and exploration of a compact S-shaped resonator based triple band microstrip antenna for satellite applications. The proposed antenna is modeled for use in C (4–8 GHz) band, X (8–12 GHz) band, and Ku (12–18 GHz) band satellite applications. The antenna is composed of a circular ring-shaped patch with an S-shaped resonator. The antenna size is 24 mm × 18 mm and the prototype is imprinted on Rogers RT/duroid 5880 materials with a depth of 1.57 mm. The substrate has a relative permittivity of 2.2 and a dielectric constant of 0.0009. The excitation is supplied through a 50 Ω microstrip line. The performance of the presented antenna has been simulated and verified using High-Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS) and Computer Simulation Technology (CST). The prototype has been measured after fabrication. The results show that the antenna covers the frequency spectrum of 5.4–7.1 GHz (C-band), 8.6–11.7 GHz (X-band), and 14.5–18 GHz (Ku band) with a 10 dB return loss. The face-to-face and side-by-side fidelity factor of the proposed antenna are 0.8195 and 0.7740 respectively. The antenna has a 6.60 dBi maximum gain with stable radiation patterns throughout the operating bands which make the proposed antenna compatible with satellite application in the C-band, X-band, and Ku-band.
