Abstract

Today is a generation of the satellite navigation system and every country needs its own positioning and secured services. GPS invention has given birth to a new era in technology. India in terms of population is highly dense and should have its own navigation system. High-level research is still going on for Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) to be developed for the frequency band L-band (1176.45MHz) and S-band (2492.08 MHz). In this paper, we summarize the attributes characterizing the NavIC antenna which includes patch size, polarization, Fractal attributes, etc. Similarly, the paper gives technical inputs to develop a compact and efficient NavIC antenna system for future L-band and S-band.

Keywords
