The document describes the design and analysis of an ultra-wide band microstrip patch antenna for space research and radio astronomy applications. The antenna design uses FR-4 substrate with a thickness of 1.3mm and copper material for the patch and ground plane. The proposed antenna design has an impedance bandwidth of 5.606 GHz between 10.846-16.452 GHz with a return loss of -31.181 dB at a resonant frequency of 11.82 GHz. Simulation results show the antenna has a gain of 3.973 dB, directivity of 4.605 dBi, and fractional bandwidth of 47.42%, making it suitable for applications such as fixed-satellite systems, broadcasting satellites, space research, radiolocation,
