Abstract

In this paper, a directional GPS antenna for L1 frequency - 1575 MHz - with RHCP and a high directive gain is proposed for indoor positioning applications. The proposed antenna is made of a standard off the shelf GPS patch antenna with an additional conical reflector to enhance the gain and the beamwidth of the antenna. The angle of the cone reflector is optimized by HFSS 11 software. Finally, the cone is fabricated, integrated with the patch antenna and measured. The measurement results show that the antenna with the reflector has a 9 dBi gain and a beamwidth of 60 degrees with an axial ratio of 1 dB which agrees well with simulation results.
