Abstract:
In this paper, a new design of dual band printed antenna based on Minkowski fractal geometry has been presented. The antenna offers a very light weight, low profile, and very low coast, which satisfy the requirement of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) applications. Some techniques have been used to qualify the printed antenna for space applications. Simulation results show the advantage of Minkowski fractal geometry in terms of multiband and bandwidth enhancement. The proposed antenna operates in S and L, Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band efficiently, and has a small size, so it is useful for small satellite communication applications.
