New type of microstrip antenna with ferroelectric layer

Abstract

new type of microstrip antenna is proposed using a voltage-controlled ferroelectric thin tape in the multilayered structure. This paper presents the ferroelectric thin tape, its theoretical analysis and design. The results indicate that this concept has many advantages, is very practical and promising. It gives possibilities of several applications, e.g. in smart antennas.
