Diseño, simulación e implementación de las antenas de transmisión, recepción y radioenlace de una estación de radioaficionado

Abstract

This work presents the design, simulation and implementation of the transmission, reception and radio link antennas for an amateur radio station.

The first chapter presents a brief description of amateur radio in Ecuador, the operation, emergency response protocols, the topology of the National Interconnected System and the equipment used to establish communication between relay stations of the amateur radio service.

The second chapter presents the conditions established by ARCOTEL for the commissioning of an amateur radio station in the country. Next, this chapter explains the design of the Yagi-Uda antennas, a four-dipole array antenna for a fixed repeater station, and the Landstorfer and simply folded dipole antennas for the mobile station using the CST Studio Suite and Radio Mobile simulators.

The third chapter describes the implementation of the antennas of the fixed and mobile station “EPN”. In the same way, the reflection coefficient parameter measured and simulated with the aid of a vector network analyzer is presented.

Finally, chapter four describes the conclusions and recommendations obtained as result of the work.

CST simulations are supported by external project PIE-DETRI-PUCE-2019.
