Design and Analysis of Rectangular and U Slotted Patch for Satellite Communication

Abstract

This paper presents Microstrip antenna in the application for a satellite band microwave communication system for super high frequency (SHF), at a frequency range of 4.0 Ghz -6.0Ghz. Currently, most security, research and education platforms are equipped with SHF communication systems. For their operational requirements, a design study is needed for the development of a light weight, low volume, low profile antenna. Hence, in this paper, bandwidth enhancement techniques such as, use of various substrate with low relative dielectric constant ( r), size of antenna as well as U slotted patch antenna with coaxial probe feed technique are discussed and explained using optimization program in java and the genetic algorithm is developed.
