Abstract

As the communication technology is thriving day by day, the number of satellites are shooting up in a faster rate. The use of smaller satellites for Education, Scientific and Commercial purposes are usually positioned in LEO Low Earth Orbit flights and typically their short periods of crossing across the Line Of Sight of an Earth Station brings the need of finding ways of expanding the communication between ground and space segments. This paper elucidates the aspects related to the design and implementation of a Ground station using a directional antenna for tracking satellites which utilizes UHF band for payload transmission. First the design parameters are enumerated using Yagi Calculator Software. For verification feasibility an Electro magnetic model of an antenna is developed using ANSYS HFSS software. The procured results demonstrate some important paramount aspects of the antenna model. Finally, the “Off Shelf” components are integrated and after successful testing of hardware and software is done, it can be further extended for commercial tracking. S. Bakthanandhini | S.
