چکیده
Microstrip patch antennas have several advantages over conventional antennas including their low profile structure, light weight and low cost. As such, they have been widely used in a variety of applications. However, one of the major drawbacks of this antenna is the low bandwidth. In this paper, bandwidth of a dual patch antenna is improved by etching dummy EBG pattern on the feedline. Effects of different positions of the feedline on the bandwidth are also studied. A good improvement in bandwidth for the antenna with the dummy EBG pattern when compared to the reference antenna is obtained for all the feedline positions.
