In this paper, we report a novel design of Ku band microstrip patch antenna for satellite interchange application. The antenna design consists of RT/Duroid 5880 (dielectric constant 2.2) substrate and PEC (Perfect Electric Conductor) ground and patch. Various antenna parameters such as far-field radiation pattern, return Loss, gain, directivity, impedance, and VSWR have been obtained and analyzed. The designed antenna has been thoroughly analyzed by varying geometrical parameters of the patch to study their impact on return loss, gain, and directivity enhancement, which helps to optimize the design as per our application. The proposed antenna is excited by a 50 Ω microstrip transmission line, and the antenna has achieved good impedance matching. The reported antenna design has been optimized to operate in the Ku band at resonant frequency 12.745 GHz for a wide range of applications in satellite communications, direct transmission satellites or satellite television, etc.
