Antenna dimensions are fundamentally a function of wavelength. The higher the Dk value, the shorter the wavelength inside the dielectric. For a simple microstrip patch antenna, a 68% reduction in the patch area results from using a Dk of 10.8 compared to a Dk of 3.0. WavePro is available with a Dk up to 15, with the ability to sample a higher Dk if requested. Source: Microwaves & RF
Increased Bandwidth
The thicker the substrate, the larger the bandwidth of a patch antenna. It’s a fairly linear and significant effect and one that can be exploited for optimizing designs. WavePro panels are available in custom thickness up to 375 mil (0.375 inches/0.953 cm).
