Antenna Array Bandwidth Enhancement using Polymeric Nanocomposite Substrate

Antenna Array Bandwidth Enhancement using Polymeric Nanocomposite Substrate

A 4 × 2 array antenna is developed using a new nanocomposite polymeric magneto-dielectric substrate. The permittivity and permeability factors have been accounted in designing the proposed array antenna at the frequency of 2.6 GHz. A pure polydimethylsiloxane (P-PDMS) (ε r = 2.7) solution is mixed...
