Abstract :
A rectangular microstrip patch on air and composite (air-PTFE) substrate is theoretically and experimentally investigated and compared with conventional microstrip patch. Around 2-3 dB improvement in peak gain along with broad beam radiation pattern is demonstrated. Both experimental and simulated results are presented.
