this is because of that the truncation can create a capacitive load that neutralizes the inductive nature of the patch to produce nearly-pure resistive input impedance18Results..
Simulated S11
E-plane
H-plane The curve of the measured S11 parameter appears with slight difference from the simulated one for many reasons. The antenna was simulated on smooth jeans represented by solid planes, while the texture of the real material has different composition. In addition, cutting the copper tape to match the design will involve errors while tracing the edges and slots of both of the patch and the ground planes.19SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
