Enhancement of Printed Dipole Antennas Characteristics using semi-EBG Ground Plane

Pages 993-1006 | Published online: 03 Apr 2012
 

Abstract

Electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures have been used in many antenna designs to improve their performance. This paper investigates the performance of a dipole antenna near the edge of a ground plane, a popular setup in various wireless communication systems. To increase the radiation efficiency, a printed dipole antenna with semi-EBG ground plane is proposed. Both FDTD simulations and experimental results demonstrate the validity of this antenna design.
