Abstract

Analysis of superstrate loaded, air gap tuned annular ring microstrip antenna is performed and effects of air gap tuning on the resonant frequency are investigated. Results obtained indicate that due to air gap tuning, resonant frequency can be incrementally or decrementally changed depending on the adjustment of anisotropy ratio of substrate and superstrate layers. Results can be used to obtain tunable, wideband antenna operation.
