Microstrip patch antennas became very popular in mobile and radio wireless communication, due to ease of their analysis, fabrication, and attractive radiation characteristics. The use of Microstrip antenna in wireless communication found advantageous compared to other types of antenna due to their low fabrication cost, small size, supporting character to linear as well as circular polarization, robustness when mounted on rigid surfaces. However, they have their own limitations due to low efficiency, narrow bandwidth, surface wave loss and low gain. Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) materials, as superstrate is used to overcome the limitations of Microstrip patch antenna. The main aim of this paper is to implement EBG antenna and compare their characteristics at the frequency 2.4GHz using simulation. These designs are simulated using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) tool.

“…The disadvantages of using filter are more complex built and low-performance antenna. Besides this technique, for providing band rejection, inserting a single or multiple slot onto radiating element [3][4][5][6], using parasitic patches [7][8][9][10], embedded quarter-wavelength stubs [11][12][13] are taken place in the literature. For all these UWB antennas, the rejected band characteristics are fixed whether the interference signals are present or not.…”

This article proposes the design of a 2 ( 2 array electromagnetic band gap superstrate antenna capable to fulfill the specific radiofrequency (RF) requirements of a C-band (3.7 GHz) TT&C telecommunication system from geostationary orbits. Design efforts are focused on overall volume reduction while complying with RF performances over the required frequency bandwidth, trying to provide an advantageous alternative to the bulky horn antennas usually used for TT&C operations in current satellites.

Abstract-In this paper, we introduce a new technique for an electronic beam scanning/directivity reconfigurable which can be carried out by using a joint array of Metallic Electromagnetic Band Gap (M-EBG) sectoral antennas. This study opens new avenues of research on M-EBG sectoral antennas by combining multiple radiating elements in an array. Usually M-EBG structures are designed in passive configurations to radiate fixed/shaped beams thanks to a specific radiating aperture at the surface of the M-EBG antenna. However by opting this new technique, we are able to control the radiating aperture, and therefore provide a tunable directivity/beam pattern. The objective of the paper is to propose a solution for M-EBG antennas in order to achieve Beam Scanning and Directivity reconfigurability. The main advantage of the proposed technique is that the array have negligible mutual coupling between the radiating elements, simplifying therefore the conception of the beam-forming network and the problems of constrained beam scanning. Another objective of the paper is to be able to achieve wide angle beam scanning −/ + 58 degrees. This method makes it possible to obtain in a simple way an agile M-EBG antenna without the need of the expensive active electronic components. Several results show the effectiveness and the capabilities of the proposed technique.
