A low profile, light weight, and low cost antenna for dual‐band operation in Ku‐band is presented for satellite applications. Antenna has broadside radiation pattern and it is a single‐layer and single‐patch antenna which has the added advantage of less complexity in realising the antenna. This dual‐band antenna meets the requirement of International Telecommunication Union for region 3. Lower and upper band of antenna include the frequency band for fixed satellite services (FSS) and direct broadcasting satellite for receive mode and FSS for transmit mode, respectively. The proposed design provide 10% and 8% bandwidth in lower and upper band, respectively, with a low frequency ratio of 1.2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
