Abstract

This project consists in the design and build of the first stage of a receiver chain based in a down converter which will turn a typical X-band radar signal into an L band signal. To achieve this, COTS elements as SMD and MMIC will be used. The design and printing of a microstrip filter and circuit layout will be done, as well as the design of the mechanical structure to mount the final circuit. Finally, a testing stage will be planned and executed to validate the functioning of the circuit having as a reference previous theoretical analysis.

Este trabajo consiste en el diseño y fabricación de la etapa inicial de una cadena receptora basada en un down converter que traslada una señal radar típica en banda X a una en banda L. para lograr esto, se usará elementos COTS de tecnologías MMIC y SMD. Se realizará el diseño e impresión del circuito y del filtro microstrip, como también el diseño de la estructura mecánica sobre la cual se montará el circuito. Finalmente se planeará y ejecutará una etapa de pruebas para validar el funcionamiento del circuito teniendo como referencia los análisis teóricos previos.
