Single stub tuning application via semi-rigid coaxial cables for VHF and UHF monopole antennas on RASAT

For maximum power transfer impedance matching is an important subject in communication systems. Besides, minimum complexity is another important concept in order to obtain cheaper, reliable and feasible matching networks. In this study, a single stub matching implementation applied while improving the return loss characteristic of blade antennas used in VHF/UHF communication system of RASAT is presented. RASAT will be the first observation satellite designed and manufactured in Turkey.
