“…The development of small-integrated antennas plays a significant role in the progress of the rapidly expanding military and commercial communications applications. Wideband wireless connection promises to make interactive voice, data, and video services available anytime and anywhere [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. In microstrip antenna (MSA) designs, it is very important to determine the resonant frequencies of the antenna accurately as these MSAs have narrow bandwidths and can only operate effectively in the vicinity of the resonant frequency.…”

Abstract-This paper presents the design of a novel wideband gap coupled sectoral antenna for communication systems. The circular patch is placed in the aperture of four sectoral rings. The antenna parameters are optimized using various simulations to attain good return loss and corresponding resonant frequency. The antenna operates in X-band at 10.35 GHz showing wideband characteristics along with high directivity and reduced side lobe level to a good extent. The antenna has also been studied using fuzzy inference system (FIS). The return loss and analogous frequency obtained from simulated results and fuzzy system are compared and in good agreement. Design is extended to an array of nine elements mutually coupled to the active fed patch. The antenna is fabricated, and the simulated results are found to be in good agreement with experimentally measured ones. A bandwidth of 900 MHz at resonant frequency of 10.35 GHz with a directivity of 7.0 dBi and reduced side lobe level of −18.9 dB is therefore obtained.

“…Another ESEO satellite, studied in [12], utilizes 2.080 GHz and 2.260 GHz with a total of six microstrip antennas for communications and telemetry applications. A comparatively high gain shorted annular patch (SAP) antenna which was assimilated with a stacked parasitic element was designed by ESEO [13]. The antenna was excited through an aperture-coupled feed, resulting in circular polarization at 2.425 GHz with an 8% fractional bandwidth and peak measured gain of 12.2 dBi.…”

In this paper, a circularly polarized, high gain, patch antenna with low axial ratio dedicated for S band nanosatellite communications is presented. Four asymmetric Vshaped slits in the diagonal directions on the square patches and a parasitic element are introduced to create circularly polarized (CP) radiation with a large axial ratio beamwidth. A prototype of the antenna was developed with a 1.57 mm thick single layer Rogers's substrate with a relative permittivity of 2.2. Simulation and measurement results are given, indicating that this S band antenna realizes the required HORYU-IV nanosatellite specifications in terms of frequency bandwidth, gain, circular polarization bandwidth, and axial ratio (AR) beamwidth.
