Abstract
In this paper, the high gain and broadband antenna operating for SDMB(Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) system is realized, The proposed antenna consists of the SAP(Shorted Annular Patch) structure, which inhibits surface-wave and the parasitic SAP element with spacing of $0.25 {\lambda}_0$ in order to improve gain, bandwidth and directivity. The RHCP(Right Hand Circular Polarization) is generated by two slits, which are made along the periphery of the circular patch at the diametrically opposite points, The simulated maximum gain of the proposed antenna is 12.6 dBi, which is better 5.22 dBi than maximum gain of the conventional microstrip patch antenna. The measured maximum gain is 10.5dBi at operating frequency 2.63GHz. Also, the measured impedance bandwidth$(VSWR{\leq}2)$ of the proposed antenna is $360MHz(2.488{\sim}2.848 GHz)$, which is better 300 MHz than the bandwidth of the conventional microstrip patch antenna. The measured HPBW(Half Power Beam Width) of the proposed antenna is $45.8^{\circ}$, and the measured FBR(Front to Back Ratio) is 15.49 dBi, The 3dB axial ratio bandwidth is 220 MHz$(2.54{\sim}2.76 GHz)$.
