Abstract:Abstract-A wide band EBG resonator antenna with two layer of dielectric superstrates of the same material is design which is operating in X band. The EBG superstrates act as Partially Reflective Surfaces (PRS) having positive reflection phase curve which are suspended above a double sided dipole patch antenna fed by a coaxial cable pass through ground plane. Thus a resonator cavity is constructed which increases the bandwidth and gain of the feed antenna. The measured results validate the simulation results ob… Show more
“…It is concluded that the present work improves the bandwidth for approximately 1.6 GHz and the directivity for about 0.72 dB. Also, compared with previous works in the X-band [8,[35][36][37][38], the structure is smaller in size and more simple with fewer numbers of layers. As for the effects of metamaterial substrate on radiation pattern, previous works show some squint and deviation.…”
To prevent far-field radiation characteristics degradation while increasing bandwidth, an attempt has been made to design and fabricate a microstrip antenna. An electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure, including a layer of a metallic ring on a layer of Rogers 4003C substrate, is used. For a better design, a patch antenna with and without the EBG substrate has been simulated. The results show that the bandwidth can be improved up to 1.6 GHz in X-band by adding the EBG substrate. Furthermore, using this structure, a dual-band antenna was obtained as well. Finally, to validate the simulation results, a comparison has been done between simulation data and experimental results which demonstrate good agreement.

In this paper, a microstrip patch antenna fed by a waveguide using an end-wall iris through ground plane has been modelled. The iris feed technique was proposed to overcome the narrow bandwidth problem of microstrip patch antenna. The iris is sized so that it is resonant and subsequently the antenna operates under the fusion of two modes relating to the iris and the patch, resulting in a wideband radiation characteristic with dual resonance. Measurement demonstrates the single bandwidth dual resonance type and the radiation bandwidth of (8 GHz-10.6 GHz). In order to show the impact of the iris feed technique on microstrip patch antenna’s bandwidth, a comparison with some state-of-the-art works proposing various bandwidth enhancement techniques in the X-band is made. The proposed prototype, with a size of 1.76λ0 X 1.65λ0 X 1.29λ0 , is more compact than several designs. It has a fractional bandwidth of 27.9%, thus it presents the prototype with the widest bandwidth with the simplest design fabrication. With regard to the electromagnetic modelling, this work is oriented towards the use of the hybrid MOM-GEC method in order to be able to perform a rigorous electromagnetic. It has been found that the MOM-GEC model is more efficient in terms of memory requirements and approximately four times faster than HFSS simulator software.
“…Others have studied the combination of EBG with antennas for SAR reduction [8], radar cross section reduction [9] and their use as filter building block [10]. Therefore, some recent works recourse to the EBG structures, to obtain high gain and wide band [23] and also conceive a multi-band circular polarization antenna [24].…”
Abstract-This paper presents a dual-band, low profile antenna with reduced specific absorption rate (SAR) for mobile handset applications. Here, dual-band operation is obtained by combining a printed dipole antenna (initially resonating at 4.3 GHz) with EBG mushroom-like structures loaded with circular slots (CS). The final structure operates at 3.44 GHz (additional band required for LTE Advanced LTE-A) and 4.5 GHz (for Smartphone WLAN applications) with improved bandwidth and reflection coefficient (350-MHz around 3.5 GHz with −26 dB, and 330 MHz around 4.5 GHz with −30 dB). Finally, a dosimetry study of the proposed printed dual-band dipole antenna is presented and verifies an SAR reduction from 9 W/Kg to 1.41 W/Kg compared to the same antenna without any loading structure, and from 3.98 W/Kg to 1.41 W/Kg compared to a standard EBG mushroom-like structure.
