The Patch Antenna

Patch Antenna
This is the antenna I made once.
A patch antenna consists mainly of a square conductor mounted over a groundplane. The dimensions of the square are roughly 1/2 wavelength. The insulating space between the two planes may be air. The operating frequency of the GPS satellites is 1575 MHz. So half a wavelength is about 300000/1575/2 = 95 mm. Such an antenna 'looks' up, and is not very sensitive to the satellites on the horizon. But we are mainly interested in satellites above us. Some additional gain can be obtained by making the antenna not square, but shortening one side, and making the other side somewhat longer. In this way the antenna matches the circular polarisation of the satellites. Also the position of the feedpoint is important. It should present a 50 Ohm impedance. The exact calculations are much more complicated then those of a dipole. I found a sketch of such an antenna in an amateur radio magazine called QST (October 1995).
