| Summary: | This paper presents a microstrip patch antenna that
have an ultra-wideband (UWB) characteristics. The proposed
antenna design is a slotted non-uniform pentagonal microstrip
patch antenna with 1.6mm thickness of FR-4 as the substrate. Its
small size of 30mm × 33mm achieved the miniaturization
characteristics to fit on the surface of CubeSat. The antenna is
simulated to resonate at 6.33GHz and operates at the range of
frequency from 2.56GHz to 19.89GHz with bandwidth
enhancement of 273.78%, while the fabricated antenna is
measured to resonate between 3.10GHz to 12.74GHz and is
optimum at 3.9GHz with bandwidth enhancement of 247.18%.
This range covers most commonly frequencies for wide usage of
radar and communication application such as earth observation,
space weather forecasting, mobile communication etc. It manages
to attain VSWR≤2 at the optimum frequency and have relatively
good gain of 3.67dBi. The antenna is designed and simulated using
Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio. |
