Evaluación de la aplicación de métodos de síntesis en el diseño de arreglos de antenas de microcintas para sistemas de radiolocalización.

Abstract

In the present work the subject of evaluation of the application of the synthesis methods in the design of microstrip antennas for radiolocation systems is described. Some necessary concepts for the comprehension of the work were approached, such as microstrip antennas and antenna arrays, the general characteristics of the various synthesis methods existing in the subject are explained, emphasizing in Tschebyscheff and Taylor line-source (one parameter) methods. The whole process of evaluating the aforementioned methods on an array of rectangular patch microstrip antennas to obtain narrow beam patterns and low side lobes characteristic of modern radiolocation systems is presented. The design of the array is also shown using the High Frequency Structures Simulation Program (HFSS). The comparison between the results obtained from the application of the methods was made, determining the most efficient to be applied in modern radiolocation systems.
