Resumen

This article proposes an empirical methodology for accurately estimating the relative permittivity (Formula presented.) of FR4 boards, which is essential for designing microstrip antennas at S and C frequency bands. As the relative permittivity of dielectric materials changes with frequency, the proposed method involves selecting a known starting value of (Formula presented.) for an FR4 board and then simulating the reflection coefficient S11 parameters of an antenna design. These simulated parameters are then compared to the measured S11 parameters of a fabricated antenna. A value of (Formula presented.) = 4.55 is accurately determined when the two S11 parameters converge close to the desired design frequency. With the FR4 (Formula presented.) value obtained from this methodology, a slot patch antenna is designed for a frequency of 4 GHz, obtaining a reflection coefficient of |Γ| = 0.035, a bandwidth BW = 117 MHz, and a standing wave ratio (SWR) of 1.0746. The proposed methodology can be used as a tool to estimate the (Formula presented.) of various substrates that are not characterized at high frequencies.
