Conception and study of a patch antenna for VSAT application

Abstract

The VSAT system is one of the satellite telecommunications systems. It comprises two parts, a spatial part concerns the satellite, and a terrestrial part concerns earth stations. In these stations, the antennas play a vital role in transmitting and receiving data. These antennas have very advantageous characteristics (wide frequency band, security, and high speed). This work is based on the study and simulation of a printed microwave patch antenna designated for use in the VSAT system in two frequency bands [11]–[14] GHz per the software tool CST STUDIO SUIT to obtain a good adaptation and functioning.
