Dual Band Antenna with Parasitic Patch for Satellite Applications

In this paper, a compact microstrip patch antenna having parasitic patch and partial ground plane to achieve high bandwidth and resonating frequency is designed, along with minimum attenuation levels, the antenna is working on multiple bands of 13-16 GHz and 17-20 GHz that lies in the Ku and K bands and can be used for satellite applications, minimum attenuation levels are achieved at the resonant frequencies of 14.6 GHz and 19.2 GHz of -58 dB and -41 dB respectively. The antenna is showing a good impedance matching bandwidth with multiple bands. The antenna has been simulated on CST Microwave Studio
