low dielectric constant exhibits better gain but at the cost of bigger patch area.
Therefore, if application needs better gain, eciency, bandwidth etc then a thick
dielectric substrate with a low dielectric constant is chosen. If application needs
small antenna size then a thin dielectric constant with high dielectric constant
is chosen.
Future works include the fabrication of the designed patch array antenna
followed by measurements. We choose RT/Duroid 4350 substrate because of its
availability, low loss and low cost. Other substrates will also be evaluated.
