Implementación de una antena Turnstile en tecnología Microstrip para la banda GPS a 1 GHz.

Abstract

This project shows the design and implementation of a Turnstile antenna realized in microstrip technology for the GPS band at 1 GHz. Chapter 1 shows a general description of Turnstile antennas, their functionality, and possible applications for them. Chapter 2 details the design process of the antenna and its components, the Wilkinson power divider, the phase shifting network, and the squared patch radiator. Chapter 3 shows the implementation of the Wilkinson power divider, the phase shifting network, and the squared patch antenna. It also shows the implementation of the structure in two different ways, first the circuit with a phase-shifted feeding and then the in-phase circuit when the polarization is linear. Finally, results are discussed.Chapter 4 shows conclusions and recommendations of this project.
