Abstract

A meandered dipole Yagi-Uda antenna with parabolic reflector for 1.575 GHz of the Global Positioning System (GPS) application is presented. The intention of this work is to attain the consequence for optimum presentations of the antenna established to gain, size and directivity. This antenna radiates at the frequency between 1.52 GHz and 1.88 GHz. The gain for this antenna is 4.521 dB at 1.575 GHz of frequency. This antenna had been shown in the simulation of CST Microwave Studio and compared with the measured antenna results.
