Effect of the substrate permittivity on the features of a UWB planar slot antenna

Abstract

Abstract The effect of the substrate permittivity on the features of a planar slot antenna for Ultrawideband communications has been investigated here. On this purpose, the same antenna structure has been studied and realized on different substrates. The study involves both simulations and measurements on different realized prototypes. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
