The electromagnetic band gap structures are widely used to suppress pronounced surface waves in antennas with thicker substrate and higher dielectric constant. This paper reviews various application of Electromagnetic band gap structure in microstrip antenna, a band gap characterization of an electromagnetic bandgap structure along with the explanation of various reported configurations of comp...

In this paper, a novel C shape slotted microstrip patch antenna with enhanced gain is presented and discussed. The proposed design offers low profile, high gain and compact antenna element. The maximum gain is 7.31541 dBi at 2.31610 GHz, antenna and radiation efficiency are more than 95.5319% and bandwidth is 50% from 1GHz to 3GHz .The proposed design is suitable particular for wireless communi...

A compact microstrip-fed antenna with dual notched bands is proposed. First, a simple basic configuration is presented for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications and then the dual band notched structure is extended from the UWB one. The basic structure of the UWB antenna consists of a simple square radiating patch and a ground plane with a wide square slot on back of the substrate. A semi-circle sh...

A band-removal property employing microwave frequencies using complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) is applied to design a compact UWB antenna wishing for the rejection of some frequency band, which is meanwhile exercised by the existing wireless applications. The reported antenna comprises optimization of a circular radiating patch, in which slotted complementary SRRs are implanted. It i...

The exploding growth of wireless communications systems leads to an increasing demand for integrated compact low-cost antennas. As a result, LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) multilayer technology is becoming more and more popular for the production of highly integrated, complex multilayer modules and antennas. This technology is appreciated for its flexibility in realizing an arbitrary ...

─ A simple and compact microstrip-fed ultra wideband (UWB) slot antenna with dual band-notch characteristic for UWB applications has been presented. In order to increase the impedance bandwidth of the square slot antenna, we insert a T-shaped slot in the ground plane that with this structure UWB frequency range can be achieved. Additionally, by using a pair of Lshaped slits at the square radiat...
