Ebg Structures and Its Recent Advances in Microwave Antenna
نویسنده
چکیده
Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structures are nonperiodic structures that show unique electromagnetic features, such as frequency band gap for surface waves and in-phase reflection coefficient for incident plane waves, which makes them desirable for low-profile antenna designs. A very innovative topic for antenna scientists and engineers are the applications of EBG structures in antenna designs. In this paper we have initially reviewed the fundamentals of these structures and then demonstrating recent advances in this field by using several representative microwave antenna examples.It has been concluded that proper utilizations of EBG structures could enhance the performance of low profile antennas.

In this paper, single and dual band EBG structures for wider bandwidth are proposed. In each of the discussed EBGs, a metallic patch of regular geometry is chosen for the unit element. The patch is further modified by cutting slots to get extra inductance and capacitance which results into lower cut-off frequency and larger bandwidth. The proposed EBG structures are compared with the standard m...
