Abstract

This project presents an overview of design of Annular Ring with Slots Microstrip Antenna for Satellite Downlink Communication. A satellite downlink communication needs the antenna that has low profiles, low cost and better efficiency. Annular ring with slots microstrip antenna can be one of the candidate for such application due to its low profiles and ease for fabrication. The antenna was designed by using CST Microwave Studio to obtain the S11, radiation pattern, gain, efficiency and bandwidth. The antenna was designed at 4 GHz and fabricated on the FR4 substrate with the dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm. The gain and efficiency achieved at 4 GHz are 4.2 dBi respectively. Good agreement between measurement and simulation results was achieved. Therefore, the proposed antenna is suitable for the satellite downlink communication.
