This paper represents new generation of slotted antennas for satellite application where the loss can be compensated in terms of power or gain of antenna. First option is very crucial because it totally depends on size of satellite so we have proposed the high gain antenna creating number of rectangular, trapezoidal, and I shape slots in logarithm size in Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) structure. The structure consists of an array of various shape slots antenna designed to operate in C and X band applications. The basic structures have been designed over a RT duroid substrate with dielectric constant of 2.2 and with a thickness of 0.508 mm. Multiple slots array and shape of slot effects have been studied and analyzed using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator). The designs have been supported with its return loss, gain plot, VSWR, and radiation pattern characteristics to validate multiband operation. All the proposed antennas give gain more than 9 dB and return loss better than −10 dB. However, the proposed structures have been very sensitive to their physical dimensions.

This paper introduces a Modified Sierpinski Fractal antenna with compact, multiband and moderate gain specifications with an embedded Rectangular slot on the regular Sierpinski triangle . The fractalisation is extended from 0 to 4 iterations to examine the radiation characteristics. Two substrate materials ARLON, FR4-epoxy are considered individually with Ԑr values 2.2, 4.4 respectively and the height of the substrate is chosen as 1.6 mm. The efficient tool ANSYS HFSS High frequency structure simulator software package is used to design and simulate the proposed antenna structure in the frequency band of 1 to 10 GHz. The simulation results are reported and studied for all the four iterations in which the 4th iteration final geometry possess better results with 4 resonant frequencies that resonates in C band and X band in case of ARLON whereas 6 resonant frequencies obtained in the same frequency bands in case of FR4 epoxy. The multiband behavior can make these structures to serve in Satellite, Military and Radar wireless communications. The resultant gain values are also maximum about 13.67dB for ARLON and 7.69 dB for FR4-epoxy materials. It is also observed that the percentage of miniaturization of about 71.53% is obtained with this modified rectangular slotted fractal geometry, suitable to multiband applications.
