Abstract
This paper represents a dual array patch micro strip antenna which operates in KU-band. The proposed dual array patch micro strip antenna was light weighted, flexible & slim and designed on two-layer, one PTFE/Teflon substrate and another ground plane with two patches having an area of 8 mm × 6.3 mm each. In this study, a dual array designed technique for enhancing gain that improved the performance of a conventional micro strip patch antenna. The result showed satisfactory performance with maximum achievable gain of about 10 dB. The objective of this study was to obtain the enhancement in gain (dB) for KU-band over the frequency band (10.9GHz–17.25GHz). Furthermore, this antenna provided a stable radiation pattern across the operating bandwidth.
