Abstract EN
A comparative study of the performance characteristics of a printed 8-element V-shaped circular antenna array and an 8-element Yagi circular array operating at 2.45 GHz for vehicular direction finding applications is presented.
Two operating modes are investigated; switched and phased modes.
The arrays were fabricated on FR-4 substrates with 0.8 mm thickness.
Measured and simulated results were compared.
Radiation gain patterns were measured on a 1 m diameter ground plane that resembles the rooftop of a vehicle.
The HPBW of the Yagi was found to be about 3° narrower than its V-shaped counterpart when measured above a reflecting ground plane and operated in switched mode.
The printed V-shaped antenna array offers 2.5 dB extra gain compared to the printed Yagi array.
