Simulated and measured results for a S-shaped monopole patch antenna on a BiNbO4 layer

This work presents a numerical and experimental investigation of the resonant properties of a microstrip-fed S-shaped monopole patch antenna on a high permittivity BiNbO

ceramic substrate. The high electrical permittivity of the ceramic substrate provided a reduction in the resonator dimensions. A good agreement was observed between simulated and measured resonant frequency of the considered antenna.
