Abstract

The paper presents a step by step procedure for designing microstrip antenna for LEO satellites. The design uses transmission line method as it offers good physical insight. The design is simulated using Ansoft HFSS TM V9.2 which employs finite element method to achieve the desired specification. The paper presents simulated results for total gain and far field radiation patterns. The analysis of the simulated results confirms successful design of coaxial fed microstrip antenna.
