  • Abstract
    We report on the fabrication of a microstrip antenna with an ultra-thin Iron film patch with thickness of approximately 10 nm. The antenna showed excellent response in terms of performance and reliability. In addition, the antenna demonstrated potential for ultra-wide band applications. Such antennas may therefore have significant promise for system-on-chip, space application, and other specialized applications.
