Abstract

Antenna Design plays a key role in Satellite Communication. In this paper Metamaterial structure is added in patch antenna design to work for ku band satellite applications. "Meta" is a Greek word which means "beyond" the materials provides properties beyond the conventional materials. A rectangular patch antenna is provided with the metamaterial ground structure which helps to increase the performance of the regular patch antenna. Here FR4 substrate with dielectric permittivity of 4.4 and height of the substrate is 1.6 mm is used for designing the metamaterial antenna. The Proposed antenna having dimension 54.59 mm length and 59.14 mm width. This metamaterial antenna is designed with an integral based solver simulation software called CST Microwave studio v2018 and obtained VSWR 1.08, Return loss -27.40 dB and Bandwidth of 1.7 GHz, Directivity of 5.71 dB, gain of 5.84 dBi. This metamaterial antenna is suitable for Ku band Satellite applications.
