Abstract

This paper proposes a rectangular array configuration of microstrip antennas combined with a parabolic reflector for C-band satellite communications. The antenna operates in the frequency range of 3.8–4.2 GHz. In particular, the proposed antenna is a 2 × 2 feed antenna on a parabolic system. It uses a multilayer microstrip array antenna with proximity coupling and coaxial probe techniques as a feeding technique. The fabricated antenna operates at 3.8–4.4 GHz and 12.1 dBi gain at frequency 4.148 GHz. Through simulation, combining the antenna with a 2.4 m parabolic reflector results in a gain of 33.1 dBi. In conclusion, the proposed antenna configuration achieves the expected high gain and narrow beamwidth for the E plane and the H plane.
