Abstract

In the rapidly advancing field of aerospace communication and radar systems, the demand for high performance antennas operating in the X-band frequency range has increased significantly. For high speed communication, precise navigation, and accurate detection the antenna in X band is required.  In this paper, the design and analysis of a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW)-based antenna for aerospace applications operating at a frequency of 10.5 GHz. The proposed antenna design integrates the benefits of SIW technology, such as low loss, compact size, and compatibility with planar fabrication techniques, making it suitable for space-constrained aerospace platforms. The antenna had gain of 9.34 dBi, s11 of design is -28.3 at 10.5 GHz. The radiation pattern is approximately omnidirectional.
