Abstract

For a long time, space research has been a significant field, wherein the entire world has competed. The space research includes the ability to predict natural occurrences, such as weather changes, imminent draughts, and tsunamis; ground surveying, communication systems, and, most recently, Cyber-Physical systems. The research in the domain is rising as a result of recent privatizations, such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, and others. With the aircraft communication and satellite systems advancement, new edge-cutting technologies in demand and new approaches to system components are necessary. Satellite communications, RADAR, DTH communication and astronomical observations all use the Ku band. High-resolution, short-range and high-throughput radars operate in this frequency band. For airspace applications, low-profile antenna structures are critical. Microstrip antennas are utilized in a wide range of applications, including communication systems, satellites, aircrafts and medical devices. In this paper, a triband H shaped rectangular patch antenna with U in feed line is modeled and simulated for IEEE Ku band and EU J band applications. The proposed design has gain of 7.1 dB and return loss of − 16.5 at 15 GHz frequency. The 3 dB angular width of main beam is 25.2°. Proposed antenna is multiband with useable bands of 6.1–6.6 GHz, 10.9–11.1 GHz and 13.1–16 GHz and is capable for working in C band, X band and Ku or J band. The proposed antenna also shows ultra-wide band characteristics in its third band from 12.1 to 16 GHz.
