MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541111267 A) filed by The Principal, Mepco Schlenk Engineering College, Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 14, 2025, for 'a 2x2 array antenna device for satellite communication.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. R. Ahila Priyadharshini; Karthick Raja T; and Vijaybala N.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Satellite communication is vital for global connectivity, emergency response, telecommunications, broadcasting, navigation, remote sensing, scientific research and military operations. Satellites provide coverage in remote areas, support communication during emergencies, deliver television and radio broadcasts, enable precise positioning with GPS, monitor the Earth's environment, facilitate space exploration, and offer secure communication for defense purposes. For the satellite communication high gain, directional antenna is required. Here, 2x2 array antenna operates at K band (14.9 GHz)is designed with single substrate of FR4 with relative permittivity and thickness 1.6mm. And this antenna for satellite communication is fabricated and tested in the anechoic chamber and the final antenna has the S11 value and VSWR that are similar to the simulated design."
