Abstract
The microstrip patch antenna with PVDF (poly vinylidene fluoride) substrate, were experimentally studied at frequency 6 GHz. During the design of the essential elements of microstrip antenna, EM simulation tool Ensemble V 7.0 is used. We observed the resonant frequency by DC appled electric field in a microstrip patch antenna. This research has been made as an electronically tunable microstrip antenna, taking advantage of the voltage control dielectric substrate and piezoelectric properties substrate. We discuss the effect of substrates, electric field and piezoelectric phenomena in the PVDF microstrip antenna. The antenna frequency can be changed by varying the applied dc voltage. In this paper, we propose, a new technique to agile frequency of the microstrip antenna by using the PVDF piezoelectric substrate.
