Abstract

The performance of a microstrip patch antenna operating against a carbon fiber composite ground plane is investigated and compared with results for a copper ground, both numerically and experimentally.An electromagnetic model (EM) of the composite antenna is developed using Microwave Studio for numerical analysis. The ground plane is made of continuous reinforced carbon fiber composite composite, which has anisotropic conductivity. The direction of the fibers in the ground plane affects the current distribution, and hence the impedance bandwidth and the matching characteristics of the antenna. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract Hybrid composites, based on poly(ether sulfone) (PES) and glass fiber–reinforced copolyester liquid crystalline polymer (gLCP) up to 40% gLCP, were obtained by injection molding: these polymers were immiscible. Despite its higher viscosity, the gLCP acted as a processing aid for PES. Th
