The antenna is expected to be an alternative replacement for manpack communication with satellite which typically uses a type of antenna with small parabolic reflector. The proposed antenna is constructed of 10 radiator stubs and its parameters are investigated to achieve the optimum design including resonant frequency, working bandwidth, gain and radiation pattern. Post fabrication process, the characteristics of realized collinear antenna are measured experimentally to be compared with the design results. It is demonstrated that the propagation characteristics of realized collinear antenna are coincided qualitatively with the simulated ones. The result shows that the realized collinear antenna has the measured gain of 4.62dBi comparable to the simulated result of 4.39dBi.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Collinear antennas,Optimum designs,Parabolic reflector,Post-fabrication,Propagation characteristics,Satellite communications,Simulated results[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Collinear antenna,manpack satellite communication,propagation characteristic,radiator stub[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work is partially supported by the postgraduate team research program (Penelitian Tim Pasca Sarjana) from the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, the Republic of Indonesia.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/IWAT.2018.8379237[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
