Abstract

This paper studies a circular patch antenna which is fed by using a coaxial pin, which is a suitable antenna design for applications where small size is of importance. Such applications are wearable antenna designs. The main purpose of this paper is to design an antenna with wearable capabilities and adequate radiation characteristics for satellite communications and more specifically for the Iridium satellite constellation. The goals for the radiation characteristics of the antenna are the tuning of the antenna to 1.62GHz which is the Iridium's frequency, maximum boresight gain for this frequency, as well as circular polarization.
