Abstract
This paper presents compact C shaped microstrip feed line with C and Inverted T slots antenna (CITSA) applicable for satellite communication. This preferred antenna has simple geometry as compare to other antennas which are designed for realize wide band impedance characteristics. It contains C shaped microstrip feedline, C and Inverted T slots at partial ground and patch respectively and FR4 epoxy substrate. The antenna design simulation performance validated on HFSS. The size of proposed antenna 30×30×1.6 mmm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> . The impedance bandwidth of antenna is 71.28% (4-8.43 GHz) centered at 4.6GHz and 6.8GHz. The average peak gain of antenna is 2.55dB. It has 98% radiation efficiency.
