“…The development of microstrip antennas is very interesting for researchers because of its ease in designing and carrying out the manufacturing process [1][2][3]. Microstrip antennas have a basic shape on their patches that are rectangular [4,5], circular [1,[6][7][8] and triangular [9][10][11]. Microstrip antenna technology has been applied to telecommunications and surveillance [12][13][14] equipment [15].…”

This study aims to analyze antenna characteristics at a frequency of 2.2 GHz, including return loss, VSWR, gain, bandwidth, surface current, and radiation pattern values. Antenna characteristics were designed using simulations made with FR-4 substrates with dielectric constant ε r = 4.3 and substrate thickness (h) = 1.6 mm and copper patches with patch thickness of 0.035 mm. Single antennas are created first to get the desired parameters and then continue the creation of antenna arrays 1×2 and 1×4, and 1×8. Feeding antenna arrays arrange using the Wilkinson power divider technique on the side of the patch. Array antenna planning aims to increase the antenna gain value as well as the antenna directivity value. The simulation results obtained consecutive values ranging from single antennas, 1×2 antenna arrays, and 1×4 and 1×8 antenna arrays, including return loss of −22

“…This type of antenna has three main elements: the ground plane, substrate, and patch. Substrate material usually affects the antenna's performance because the characteristics and dimensions of this substrate can also affect the accuracy of the measurement results of antenna parameters [6].…”

Multi-substrate antenna material is a combination of more than one primary antenna base material where this substrate material can determine the quality of antenna performance. A quantitative empirical approach is carried out to achieve maximum performance by processing the dielectric constant of the substrate to obtain other antenna parameters. This aims to increase the stability of the antenna gain and produce a large bandwidth. The results show that diamond has a bandwidth of 75 MHz with a maximum gain of 4.228 dBi and a VSWR of 18.017. While epoxy FR-4 produces a bandwidth of 57 MHz with a maximum gain of 3.444 dBi and a VSWR of 2.011, the quartz material produces a bandwidth of 80 MHz with a maximum gain of 4.426 dBi and a VSWR of 10.884. The conclusion is that FR-4 epoxy substrate performs better than diamond and quartz. It is hoped that the results of this research will impact the development of a smart antenna system.

“…However, the feed horns and their arms are mounted at the front of the reflector, giving rise to obstruction on the aperture, and this, at long last, results in its downgraded efficiency while the large curvature generally affects the aerodynamic motion of the satellite when launched into the orbit. In order to solve these problems, the novel types of the microstrip array antennas are specially designed [4][5][6][7]. Importantly, the dimensions and the planar shapes of the microstrip array have no limitation and less distortion, respectively.…”

The adjusting parasitic patch size technique for the broad-beam microstrip antenna array using the cavity-backed slot coupling is presented. The phase of each element of the microstrip array has been designed to emulate the reflection of waves on the surface of parabolic backscattering. In order to increase the efficiency of this array antenna, the back-slot cavity with an exciting probe will be employed for coupling the electromagnetic waves to the back of this array. The proper sizes and locations of patches and the optimized position of the cavity have been investigated by the Computer Science Technology (CST) Microwave Studio. The gain, the radiation pattern, the bandwidth, and the return loss are extensively analyzed. The fabricated antenna has the return loss of −22.39 dB, the bandwidth of 47 MHz (4.975–5.022 GHz), and the maximum directive gain of 5.6 dB at 5 GHz, and it can produce a wide beam width (half-power beam width around 130°). The antenna could be applied for wide applications in the wireless communications system. In particular, this realizing antenna covers the low earth orbit (LEO) satellite beam.
