Hi,
I have a confusion relating to those three parameters in antenna design. It is clearly understood that bandwidth inversly relates to Q . However, adding dielectric to the design means more energy is stored (by definition) than in vacuum, means higher Q, means lower bandwidth. This is explained when we chose material with low K in patch antenna to achieve higher BW.
But doesn't this mean in vacuum I should get higher BW as less energy is stored?? why though better BW is seen with
adding dielectric than in vacum??
Make my question more direct :
I have a slotted waveguide antenna. My bandwidth has increased from 220 MHz to 325MHz when I just load dielectric (2.2 K) to fill just 1/4 the height? Why :?::?:
Thank you
