dc.description.abstractIn this paper, four novel wide-band dual tapered slot (DTS) microstrip antennas (MSAs) are proposed for X-Band Satellite Communications (SATCOM) applications. Three of them have stripline feed insertion between SMA connector and tapering profile, whereas the fourth one omits the stripline feed insertion. Each antenna is fed with a coaxial connector from one face and consists of conductors on each side of an FR-4 substrate, which increase gradually towards the edges. The aim is to design receiver antennas capable of operating in X-Band Satellite Communications (7250-7750 MHz) range and investigate the effects of tapering profiles on the performance. For this purpose, each antenna is defined in terms of parameters, and the optimum values for all parameters are calculated using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software. The antennas are simulated and practically fabricated. Results show agreement between simulations and measurements. The antennas have impedance bandwidth of 380 MHz centered at 7448 MHz for dual linearly tapering, 540 MHz centered at 7434 MHz for dual circularly tapering, 900 MHz centered at 7555 MHz for dual exponentially tapering, within the aimed Super High Frequency (SHF) range. Also, the designed fourth antenna having dual circularly tapering without the stripline feed insertion has a bandwidth of 1150 MHz centered at 7676 MHz. It is proposed that taper profile affects bandwidth, gain, radiation efficiency, radiation pattern and antenna dimensions. © 2016, Electromagnetics Academy. All Rights Reserved.en_US
