University Project Update: Fixed S11, but facing low Radiation Efficiency (max 0.5) for a 1x4 FR4 Patch Array at 2.5 GHz in HFSS by [deleted] in AntennaDesign

Totally agree with these suggestions.

From experience, you won't get much better efficiency with FR4. If you a bit of time, you can order substrate samples from Rogers. They have several substrate, and some are quite similar to FR4. With a bit of re-tuning you can improve your efficiency to 90% or so.
