dc.description.abstractAntennas operating in S and C bands are crucial in space satellite applications due to their high bandwidth, which facilitates the swift transmission of large data volumes from space vehicles to Earth. These bands are less affected by atmospheric disturbances and exhibit lower noise levels, ensuring uninterrupted and reliable communication between spacecraft and Earth centers. They are essential for satellite-based remote sensing, analyzing surface properties, transmitting high-resolution images, scientific data, and other information. Additionally, they are used for spacecraft control and navigation, enabling precise mission operations. This study emphasizes user-friendly production antennas with different geometries and distinct feeding techniques, demonstrating various design implementations using CST Microwave Studio software. Innovative manufacturing methods such as 3D printing PLA substrates and using copper tape for antenna elements were explored to optimize costs and production processes. Precise cutting of antenna radiation geometries was achieved using the Cricut machine. Experimental validation through reflection coefficient (S11) measurements with a handheld vector network analyzer confirmed the practical application of theoretical foundations. The study's novelty lies in examining unconventional materials like PLA filament for antenna substrates, exploring fractalization theory for enhancing bandwidth, and discussing advancements in material science with flexible filaments like TPU. These contributions offer insights into user-friendly antenna production, innovative manufacturing techniques, and theoretical explorations in antenna design, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of space satellite communication systems.
