Analysis of Dielectric Substrates in Microstrip Antenna Design

Abstract

Analyzing dielectric substrates in microstrip antenna design is crucial for achieving optimal antenna performance. The dielectric substrate plays a significant role in determining the antenna's characteristics, such as impedance matching, bandwidth, radiation pattern, and overall efficiency. Microstrip antenna design uses the dielectric substrate materials of varying constant values. The use of cost effective substrate material is suggested from the research outcome in this paper. RT duroid material can be used for military applications and FR4 may be utilized for industrial applications. Here are key aspects to consider in the analysis.
