Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The method of finite-difference-time domain (FDTD) was used to study the characteristics of the patch antenna based on drilling air holes in the PBG substrate. The results obtained show that the waves propagating along the substrate surface can be suppressed by the drilled photonic crystal band gap (PBG) structure due to the influence of its forbidden band. The energy of the electromagnetic waves is concentrated mainly in the substrate. As a result, patch antennas based on drilling air holes in the PBG substrate have lower return losses (S11) in comparison with the conventional patch antennas; thus, a high gain is reached and the performance is improved. Due to such the advantages, the use of patch antennas can be extended to such fields as mobile communication, satellite communication, aviation, etc.
