Diseño, simulación e implementación de elementos pasivos de microondas a través de microcinta

Abstract

In this work prior obtaining my engineering degree is described, the methodology for design, simulation and implementation of passive microwave components such as filters and power dividers for 900MHz and 2.4GHz ISM bands, using microstrip technology, fiberglass substrate, (FR-4). The design is focused on establishing specification to device, applying design equations and its related synthesis. Moreover, simulation in ADS/AWR is performed, verifying previous requirements, and optimization them if required. Once the design is optimized, the next step is to simulate it in CST, considering connectors and soldering to obtain a real approximation of the final device. Finally, implementation trough machined procedures, and characterization trough Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), is performed
