“…Moreover, these structures would ensure low interference with adjacent microwave elements and act as a shielding material between the antenna and the user of communications device [2,27,30]. Furthermore, an EBG object could drive the microstrip antenna to a dual frequency operation modifying the higher order radiation patterns, thus making them similar to those of the basic mode [64]. Besides the antenna element applications, EBG structures have also been used in arrays to alleviate the mutual coupling effects [21,65].…”

Electromagnetic band gap (EBG) technology has become a significant breakthrough in the radio frequency (RF) and microwave applications due to their unique band gap characteristics at certain frequency ranges. Since 1999, the EBG structures have been investigated for improving performances of numerous RF and microwave devices utilizing the surface wave suppression and the artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) properties of these special type metamaterial. Issues such as compactness, wide bandwidth with low attenuation level, tunability, and suitability with planar circuitry all play an important role in the design of EBG structures. Remarkable efforts have been undertaken for the development of EBG structures to be compatible with a wide range of wireless communication systems. This paper provides a comprehensive review on various EBG structures such as three-, two-, and onedimensional (3D, 2D, and 1D) EBG, mushroom and uniplanar EBG, and their successive advancement. Considering the related fabrication complexities, implementation of vialess EBG is an attractive topic for microwave engineers. For microstrip antennas, EBG structures are used in diversified ways, which of course found to be effective except in some cases. The EBG structures are also successfully utilized in antenna arrays for reducing the mutual coupling between elements of the array. Current challenges and limitations of the typical microstrip antennas and different EBG structures are discussed in details with some possible suggestions. Hopefully, this survey will guide to increasing efforts towards the development of more compact, wideband, and high-efficient uniplanar EBG structures for performance enhancement of antenna and other microwave devices.

“…While selecting the antenna it should have required specification like high gain, wide bandwidth, low loss and miniaturized size, so the design of a microstrip patch antenna is a challenging task. Microstrip patch antenna having numerous advantages like small size, lower weight , lower cost, ease of installation and aerodynamic profiles which enables it to use in high performance air craft, satellite and missile applications [1]- [3]. However conventional microstrip patch antennas have some limitations also such as narrow bandwidth, lower gain, large ohmic losses and polarisation purity, which are difficult to achieve [4].…”

The evolution of the modern wireless communication system has increased the demand of antennas, which can work on number of frequencies and should have large bandwidth to accommodate more number of channels. A high gain, wide band Ku-band antenna is realized and simulated using ADS (Advance Design Systems) simulation tool. The purposed design uses inset feed for proper impedance matching. The designed antenna has width of the patch, Wp = 49.4mm and length of the patch, Lp = 41.4mm. Taconic TLY-5 dielectric substrate is used as a substrate layer, which has dielectric constant of 2.2, and height of dielectric substrate is 1.6mm. The advantages of the resultant configurations are a) design is simple b) high Gain c) the structure remains single layer and single patch d) large bandwidth e) miniaturized size. The designed antenna provides 3.72 GHz bandwidth ranges from 11.86 GHz to 15.58 GHz at10dB return loss. For Ku-band it can be used for terrestrial microwave and radar, especially police traffic speed-detector.

I. INTRODUCTIONMicrostrip antennas (MSAs) offer many attractive features such as low-profile, light weight, planar configuration, ease of fabrication, conformable to planar and non-planar surfaces [1] etc. In the last four decades, the extensive technological work on MSAs have been developed for many wireless communication systems such as WLAN, Wi-Fi, sensors, satellite, broadcasting services, ultra-wideband (UWB), radio frequency identifications (RFIDs), reader devices, radars [2,3] etc. Still extendable work has been going on MSAs for modern wireless communication systems capable to work for applications such as portable, handheld devices, RFID reader devices which provide wireless networks. In the recent technological development, MSAs of smaller physical size are very much preferable to integrate in the systems especially operating at the lower microwave frequency ranges. Moreover, the applications like land mobile telephony as well as in the field of WLANs [4,5] further requirement would be a multifrequency operations. So the designs of a printed antenna with intend to conform to multiple communications protocols, for example the IEEE 802.11b/g at 2.4 GHz and the IEEE 802.11a at 5.3 GHz and 5.8 GHz [6,7] would be a challenging and difficult task for the designers. In this paper, a novel design of inset-fed circular microstrip antenna by inserting a modified U-slot on the patch and arrow mark slot in the ground is proposed. The antenna is designed to work for penta-band operation covering different wireless communications. The details of the antenna design, simulation and experimental results are presented and discussed in next sections.
