This paper reports experimental characterization of aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna (ACMSA) for size reduction (miniaturization), increased bandwidth and improved return loss at Microwave C-band frequency using epoxy-ferrite nanocomposite (Magneto-Dielectric) material. Development of miniaturized antenna is validated by loading epoxy-ferrite nanocomposite magneto-dielectric material in an aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna, which results in lower frequency shift with increased bandwidth and improvements in return loss, thus demonstrating miniaturization capability.
