Design and Development of an Electrically Small EBG Antenna for Modern Communication Systems
摘要
This paper introduces a rectangular microstrip patch antenna utilizing an Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) substrate, employing varying EBG parameters and configurations of EBG rows. The primary objectives include enhancing antenna gain and mitigating surface waves. Through extensive simulations and comparative analyses, we seek to validate the efficacy of the proposed antenna design incorporating a unit cell array. Our focus is on demonstrating its potential for applications requiring high directivity, particularly within the 2 to 5.5 GHz frequency range. The findings derived from these simulations are expected to offer valuable insights into antenna behavior, facilitating advancements in wireless communication system designs.
