“…The point-to-multipoint connection is the typical topology in which the root or base station is able to communicate to a number of clients located around it. In this configuration, the omnidirectional antenna is suitable for the base station [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. For the point-to-point connection topology, the unidirectional antenna is a promising candidate [10][11][12].…”

Abstract-This paper presents a circular ring antenna fed by two perpendicular probes, both of which are placed above the square reflector. The antenna is employed to radiate unidirectional beam for polarization diversity reception. A linear isolator is added to improve the isolation between the two probes. The antenna is proposed for the point-to-point communication of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system according to the IEEE 802.11a standard in which the allocated frequency band ranges from 5.150 GHz to 5.825 GHz. The proposed antenna is compact and suitable for mass production. Without the dielectric material, the antenna is free of dielectric loss and capable of high power handling. The prototype antenna was fabricated and measured to verify the theoretical predictions. At the center frequency, the unidirectional pattern with the measured half-power beamwidths in two principal planes of 65 and 75 degrees is achieved. The front-to-back ratio is 31 dB, and the antenna gain is 7.42 dBi. The |S 11 | and |S 21 | are respectively −23.09 dB and −33.99 dB; the obtained bandwidth is 23.64%. Based on the aforementioned characteristics, the antenna is a potential candidate for polarization diversity of WLAN applications.

“…For example, planar EBG structures have been used to conceive highly directive [2,3] or sectoral [4,5] antennas. Cylindrical EBG structures have also been used to design other types of antennas like omnidirectional ones [6,7]. In a recent article, we presented a multibeam antenna, based on a cylindrical array of EBG sectoral antennas and dedicated for telecommunication applications [8].…”

This paper presents an additional work on a previous EBG cylindrical antenna in order to conceive a steerable antenna for Radar applications which require the coverage of the horizontal plane with a high gain (higher than 25 dB). The already designed antenna provides 18 beams with 15 dBi of maximum directivity. That is why some modifications were applied on it in order to obtain more beams in the horizontal plane (30 beams) and increase its gain. Moreover, the theories of cylindrical arrays in the horizontal plane and the multi-feed in the vertical plane are used which allows further gain improvement and reaching the required one.

“…Metallic rods have been used by Chreim et al to design CEBG antenna structures which achieved omnidirectional [13,14] and multibeam azimuthal patterns [15]. Boutayeb et al [16,17] presented antennas in which a metallic rods CEBG structure with an angular defect window improved the directivity of the enclosed monopole feed.…”

Abstract-A novel dielectric cylindrical electronic bandgap antenna is presented and analysed using an in-house developed Finite-DifferenceTime-Domain software simulator. The design steps and the simulations results of a geometrical parametric study are also presented and discussed, focusing on the design of antennas to operate in the X-band with high directivity patterns on the H-plane. Finally, the measurements results of a set of experiments carried out on a prototype showed very good agreement with simulations: 11% fractional bandwidth at 10 GHz and an average gain of 9.5 dBi are achieved in the impedance bandwidth with 13 dB front-to-back-ratio in the azimuthal plane.
