Özet:In this thesis work, two microstrip patch antenna arrays are designed for the traffic radar applications. Both of them operate at the 24.125 GHz with 250 MHz bandwidth. Two different series feed networks are used, namely shunt connected series feed network and in line coupled series feed network. The one with shunt connected series feed network is manufactured and measured to make comparisons with the simulation results. It is observed that simulation and measurement results are very similar. 7 degree beamwidth is achieved in both azimuth and elevation planes as well as less than -14 dB side lobe levels in the radiation patterns. In the second design, 30 degree and 12 degree beamwidths are achieved for azimuth and elevation planes, respectively. While the side lobe level of the azimuth plane is smaller than -15 dB; in the elevation plane, the side lobe level could only be minimized down to -13 dB due to the existence of delay sections.
