 INTRODUCTION

 An Antenna is a metallic structure that transmits and receives

radio electromagnetic waves.

 The Parabolic reflector antenna or dish antenna has been used

more widely in recent years with advent of satellite television.

 Parabolic antennas are used as high gain antennas for point-to-

point communications.

 Wireless WAN/ LAN links for data communication, Spacecraft

communication

 WHY DISH ANTENNA?

 It can be used both as transmitting antenna and receiving antenna

due to principle of reciprocity.

 Reciprocity: It says that “Pay back what we received from

others”.
 Wide bandwidth

 High gain

 CONCLUSION

The reflector antenna for 5.5 GHz band is designed,

simulated and tested.
The dual pole of the antenna is made up of copper, while the
feed horn and reflector is made of aluminum in this project.
The design is simulated using CST MWS software.
The prototype is tested using Signal Hound tracking
generator and Signal Hound scalar network analyzer. From
both the simulation result and the experimental result the
antenna is working over the complete band of 4.9 GHz to 5.9
GHz having a return loss less than -10dB over the complete
frequency range.
