Abstract: In this paper, a parabolic reflector antenna has been designed using carbon fiber composite. Carbon fiber Numerical approach and Electromagnetic simulator based computer simulation approach was adopted. Theoretical and simulation results of carbon fiber based composites was compared with aluminum based reflector. It was observed that CFC material is a feasible alternative for antenna applications in comparison to metallic based reflector.
