Abstract :
A low cost substrate material is reported using a polypropylene and nanoclay powder composite. The material characteristics, such as dielectric constant, loss tangent, lamination and thermal properties have been determined. A patch antenna has been fabricated using the developed substrate material and its performance has been characterized
