Design and analysis of T shaped broad band micro strip patch antenna for Ku band application

This paper presents results of the new investigation of proposed antenna design based on the T shape at the 17.87GHz in application to perspective Ku band. This result is based on the work of computer simulation technology software. The design approach combines application in satellite and radar applications. A simple geometry of the proposed antenna geometry is shown to be composed two rectangular shape that are perpendicular to each other in form of the T shape that results in significant impendence bandwidth, gain and compact size. The antenna design is found to be equivalent FR-4 substrate slab backed by a PEC ground plane. The elevation radiation patterns and its field distribution confirm Ku-mode operation over a wide bandwidth, validating the compact design methodology.
