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.

A rectangular slot antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide is proposed for dual-band wireless local area network (WLAN) operations. The measured 210-dB bandwidth for return loss is from 2.1 to 2.95 GHz and 5.05 to 6.25 GHz, covering all the 2.4/5-GHz WLAN bands. A multifeed four-element planar array was designed and simu-lated. It shows that the features of small size, uniplanar structure, good radiation characteristics, and small mutual coupling are promising for multi-input multi-output applications.
