Abstract: The increasing demand for wireless applications lead to spectral congestion of frequency bands that are allocated conventionally. Hence, to satisfy this demand it is necessary for all the satellite systems to employ higher frequency bands like Kurz (Ku) band (12-18 GHz), Kurz above (Ka) band (26.5-40 GHz) etc. This paper presents a microstrip patch antenna that operates effectively over the frequency range starting from 3.5 GHz to 33.5 GHz. The proposed antenna is analysed using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator). It consists of a circular patch which is cut on its circumference to obtain the hexagonal shape and has a defected ground plane that has a slit at its centre. The impedance bandwidth achieved by this compact antenna covers the region from 3.5 GHz to 33.5 GHz, hence it can be extensively used in many satellite, defence and aerospace applications.
