Abstract

According to previous research it was shown by simulation that dielectric constant of a material could be enhanced by adding metal patterns on it. In this project, experiments were conducted to demonstrate the enhancement of dielectric constant with circular metal patches of various diameter printed on the host material. Experimental results showed that material dielectric constant increased with the increase in metal patch diameter and theoretically any value of dielectric constant could be achieved by adjusting the size of the metal patches.
