Abstract

This paper presents a compact multiband microstrip electromagnetic band gap (EBG) patch antenna with partial ground used for the 2nd and 3rd mode excitation, allowing multiple band resonance and control of the resonance frequencies. The electromagnetic band gap elements are inserted to improve obviously output parameters (gain directivity, return loss, maximum radiation Intensity, and radiation efficiency). Simulation and measurement results show a multiband antenna WiMAX, WLAN-band applications that can effectively cover three separated bandwidths (2.12, 3.1 and 5.41 GHz). The proposed compact antenna is grounded on a 1.6 mm-thick FR4 epoxy substrate with overall dimension of 0.305λ × 0.305λ × 0.012λ at lower frequency. The whole size of the proposed antenna with an overall area of 25 × 38 × 1.6 mm3 is maintained, and a low cross-polarization level within the operating frequency range. Electromagnetic Band Gap materials, artificially engineered structures, have the main role to improve the output performance of the patch antennas.
