Abstract

In this paper a triangular fractal patch antenna with slit is designed for IRNSS and GAGAN applications using ADS software. India is intended to develop a satellite based navigation systems known as Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS) for positioning applications. Design of IRNSS antenna at user sector is indispensable. GPS Aided and Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN), a satellite based augmentation system for India, erect over the GPS system is anticipated to provide the flawless navigation support over the Asia-Pacific regions. The desired antenna has been deliberate on dielectric constant ε_r = 4.8 and substrate thickness h = 3.05 mm. The feed location of the antenna has been selected to produce the circular polarization. The self-similar property in antenna exhibits multi-band resonant frequencies. These specifications should be satisfied at the frequency L5 (1175 MHz), L1 (1575.42 MHz) and S (2492.08 MHz).
