Abstract


An antenna has been designed for operation in both the transmit and receive bands of Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) and Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) belonging to the Ku band. An asymmetrical E-shaped slot, eight small symmetrical rectangular slots, corner truncated C-shaped slots, and nine symmetrical rectangular slots on the ground plane comprise the antenna design. The operating frequency bands of 11.49-12.86 GHz, 13.9-14.5 GHz, and 17-18.1 GHz are obtained. In contrast, measured operating bands of 11.52-12.74 GHz, 13.8-14.45 GHz, and 17.1-18 GHz are obtained. Fractional bandwidths of those operating bands are 11.25%, 4.22%, and 6.26% respectively. The proposed antenna's simulated and fabricated results are compared and are in good agreement for S11, fractional bandwidth, gain, and radiation pattern. Also, when used as a part of an array, the designed antenna gain can be increased in both FSS and DBS transmission and reception modes.
