Abstract

The dielectric constant of a material is evolved from the microscopic charge polarizations inside an atom when exposed to external electromagnetic field. Free electrons of a metallic object are also polarized when external electromagnetic field interacts with it. Therefore, it could be hypothesized that metallic inclusions in a dielectric material should enhance the overall dielectric constant. In this research, circular metal patches of fixed diameter were printed with various periodicity on a particular host dielectric substrate and extracted overall dielectric constant with free space material measurement technique. Experimental results showed that the denser the metal patches, the bigger the overall dielectric constant of that material.
