Bevel microstrip printed antenna for satellite communication

Abstract

A single feed, single layer compact bevel cut rectangular patch antenna is proposed. The bevels are cut at the left-top corner and the right-bottom corner. The 1^st resonant frequency (4.25 GHz) is applicable for short band radio wave communication and the other resonant frequency (6.93 GHz) is applicable for radar communication. All the results are simulated by using IE3D, a MoM based software and the results are verified by the VNA network analyzer. This paper includes the bandwidth, return loss, vswr range and radiation pattern.
