Abstract
In this paper, we proposed a method of the resonant frequency shift of a microstrip patch antenna using $LiNbO_3$, PVDF and FR-4 substrates. We designed and analyzed from these parametars optimized using Ensemble V 7.0 of the simulation tool. We observed the resonant frequency by DC appled electric field in a microstrip patch antenna. When $LiNbO_3$ substrate were applied from -300 to 300 V/mm, we obtained the resonant frequency shift of maximum 29 MHz. The microstrip patch antenna with PVDF (poly vinylidene fluoride) substrate, we obtained the resonant frequency shift of maximum 17 MHz at frequency 6 GHz. but when Epoxy FR-4 substrates used, the resonant frequency does not changed. This results showed the resonant frequency shift without physical strains in a microstrip patch antenna.
