چکیده

3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter explains the methods to improve the directivity, and bandwidth of microstrip antenna array, using EBG structures and the FSS as a superstrate layer. This chapter also details the concept, principles of operation and the geometries of the unit cell of various EBG structures used, along with the microstrip antenna array configuration. Using the Multiconductor Transmission-Line (MTL) theory, the dispersion equations for the mushroom-like EBG and fork-like EBG, are obtained theoretically and verified. In addition to the equivalent circuit of the mushroom-like and fork-like EBG structures, the dispersion diagram is obtained theoretically from the dispersion equation. In this thesis, two approaches are proposed for improving the performance of the microstrip antenna array. In the first method, the EBG structures are placed on either side of the feedline of the microstrip antenna array. The optimal position of the EBG structures on both sides of the feedline is calculated using a parametric study. In the second method, the FSS is placed as a superstrate layer in the aperture coupled microstrip antenna array. The parametric study is done, for identifying the optimal height at which the FSS can be placed from the radiating patch. The parametric studies were performed using the CST microwave studio. In this research, the various EBG structures have been incorporated along with the

Mutual Coupling Reduction in Patch Antenna Arrays Using a Planar Compact EBG Structure

An important issue in antenna array design is reduction of mutual coupling. In microstrip antennas this reduction can be achieved by using electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures. These structures prevent the propagation of surface waves on the substrate of a microstrip antenna array. This paper presents a new configuration of a planar compact electromagnetic bandgap structure to reduce mutua...

Enhancement of Bandwidth in Microstrip Patch Antenna using EBG

This paper presents the bandwidth and gain enhancement of microstrip patch antenna using EBG for X band (10 Ghz) application. The surface waves must be suppressed to increase the bandwidth and gain by using EBG. By using EBG the stop band characteristics is created over certain frequency and that has been adapted to suppress the surface wave and to enhance the gain and bandwidth of the antenna ...
