This is a prospective analytical study where they tested the changes in the geometry of the antenna, observing their suitability to the proposed objectives. It is known that the UWB antenna must operate in a range of at least 500 MHz, and answer a fractional bandwidth greater than or equal to 25%. It is also desirable that the antenna meets the specifications of track determined by FCC - Federal Communication Commission, which regulates the system in 2002 designating the UWB bandwidth of 7.5 GHz, a range that varies from 3.1 GHz to 10, 6 GHz. by setting the maximum power spectral density of operation in -41.3 dB / MHz, and defining the fractional bandwidth by 20%. The study starts of a structure of geometry in the form of stylized @, which evolves through changes in its form, in simulated commercial software CST MICROWAVE STUDIO, version 5.3.1, and then tested using the ANSOFT HFSS, version 9. These variations, based on observations of publications available from literature referring to the microstrip monopole planar antennas. As a result it is proposed an antenna, called Monopole Antenna Planar Spiral Almost Rectangular for applications in UWB systems - AMQEUWB, which presents simulated and measured results satisfactory, consistent with the objectives of the study. Some proposals for future work are mentioned / Este trabalho consiste na an?lise de uma estrutura de antena de microfita projetada para aplica??o em sistemas de banda ultra larga (ultra wideband UWB). Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo e anal?tico onde s?o experimentadas as modifica??es na geometria da antena, observando-se sua adequa??o aos objetivos propostos. Sabe-se que a antena UWB deve operar numa faixa de no m?nimo 500 MHz, e atender uma banda fracion?ria maior ou igual a 25%. ? desej?vel ainda, que a antena atenda ?s especifica??es de faixa determinadas pela FCC Federal Communication Commission, que em 2002 regulamentou o sistema UWB designando a largura de banda de 7,5 GHz, numa faixa que varia de 3,1 GHz a 10,6 GHz. fixando a densidade espectral de pot?ncia m?xima de opera??o em -41,3 dBm/MHz, e definindo a banda fracion?ria em 20%. O estudo parte de uma estrutura de geometria em forma de @ estilizada, que evolui atrav?s de modifica??es na sua forma, simuladas nos softwares comerciais CST MICROWAVE STUDIO, vers?o 5.3.1, e, em seguida, testado com o uso do ANSOFT HFSS, vers?o 9. Varia??es estas, com base em observa??es de publica??es dispon?veis na literatura, referentes a antenas de microfita monopolo planar. Como resultado ? proposta uma antena, denominada Antena Monopolo Quase-Espiral Planar Retangular para aplica??es em sistemas UWB AMQEUWB, que apresenta resultados simulados e medidos satisfat?rios, coerente com os objetivos do estudo.

The goal of this thesis is design and build rectangular patch antenna for 60 GHz band, matched to 50 Ohms. First section described general knowledges about microstrips antennas and technologies for 60 GHz band. Second section introduced rectangular patch antenna feeded by miscrostrip line matched by quarter wave transformer on CuClad 217 substrate. Third section introduced two structural modification of rectangular patch antenna and measurements of return loss |S11|.

The project is aimed to design an antenna array for an aircraft positioning system at an airport. The system operates at frequencies 1030 MHz and 1090 MHz. The antenna is also used by the DME/TACAN system operating in frequency range from 1025 MHz to 1150 MHz. The required impedance bandwidth of the antenna array is 125 MHz, i.ee from 1025 MHz to 1150 MHz. The theoretical part of the thesis analyses properties of different patch antennas and discusses the possibility of extending the impedance bandwidth. The practical part is focused on the development of the numerical model of the broadband stacked patch antennas. In addition, properties of the 3-element and 4-element antenna array are compared. At the end, results of the thesis are summarized.
