Diseño, simulación e implementación de una antena microstrip Yagi para operar en la banda de 5.8GHz

Abstract

The increasing speed demand for new applications in wireless networks, that require a very high efficiency, has led to the development of new technologies and so to the generation of new study groups focused at the frequency 5.8 GHz. Frequency bands ISM (Industrial Scientific and Medical) are a range which it develops technological, industrials and medical applications. Nowadays the use of microstrip technology is widely used because of its advantages like: compact design and low cost. The development of microstrip antennas has been used in military applications, mobile communications, radar, biomedical, etc. This project looking for the design of YAGI microstrip antenna that allows to have directivity and high gain for the 5.8 GHz frequency in a compact size. It is developed in two methods through design tables and equations derived from a YAGI calculator, which will be simulated in order to determinate the most appropriate method of design to build the antenna. In this way it is intented to have a design method of YAGI microstrip antennas that is the basis for future projects.
