Which consequence results when a microstrip antenna's substrate thickness increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased substrate thickness allows greater fringing fields that disrupt the intended resonant modes, leading to a reduced bandwidth, because far-field pattern quality degrades with Q-factor dependence on losses. Bandwidth specifically decreases therefore, rather than other listed effects under such changed environment.
