Broadband Magneto-Electric Dipole Antenna using Circular Quadrants with SIW Technique

603-608Ku (12-18 GHz) band is prominently utilized for application related to satellite communications. In the proposed work, the essential characteristics of Magneto electric dipole antenna has fruitfully been designed by printing L shaped probe feed and four circular quadrants embedding shorted metallic vias. Wideband impedance bandwidth of 2.53 GHz (12.40-14.93 GHz) is offered by the antenna, which is around 19.26 % at center frequency. Moreover, it exhibits good gain and radiation characteristics. An extensive simulation and optimization have been performed using CST-MW-2019. The fabricated antenna has been verified with VNA and anechoic chambe
