Abstract

In this paper, an Electromagnetic Band Gap structured microstrip patch antenna is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular patch which is fed by way of 50 Ω microstrip line feed. This antenna occupies a totally very small area of 22 × 22 × 0.8 mm3 etched on FR4 substrate, making it suitable for C-Band applications. The substrate has relative permittivity of 4.4. The unit cells are etched on the dielectric substrate with 10 mm × 10 mm size. This antenna improves the gain and decreases the return losses. This proposed antenna has the improve gain of 8.5112 dB. The merits are miniaturized size and at comfortable structure.
