Abstract

In satellite TV broadcasting, the general public's enthusiasm for this multimedia communication application is unprecedented, and demand is growing all the time. To meet this growing need for satellite reception, future generations of equipment will call for increasingly powerful yet discreet antennas. Our research focused on the design of a 2x1 planar antenna array with hexagonal-shaped patches operating in the Ku-band, basically at the frequency of 11.7 GHz. The original-shaped radiating element is designed using a methodical approach based on printed antenna theory and simulations.
