EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF MICROSTRIP AND DIELECTRIC RESONATOR ANTENNAS (DRA)

Abstract

The objective of this study is to study new ferroelectric materials that can be used to miniaturize dielectric resonator antennas for wireless applications at wide range of frequencies (500Hz to 40GHz). This study will look at magnetic and dielectric properties of ceramic-ceramic composites (with YIG (Y3Fe5O12) and lithium ferrites (LiFe5O8 ) with BiFeO3(BFO)) that can be used as substrates for microstrip antennas and dielectric resonator antennas (i.e., thin film antennas for low profile, lightweight devices.)
